Presentation transcript:

Federalists & Anti-Federalists Would the Constitution get approved or not?

Background The constitution took months to write. Many heated debates took place over those months. Even when the delegates approved the Constitution, not everyone was happy. It would not become law until 9 of the 13 states ratified, or approved it.

The two sides Federalists – supported ratifying the Constitution as it was written Anti-Federalists – did not want to ratify the Constitution as it was written.

The Anti-Federalists George Mason Patrick Henry Richard Henry Lee Thomas Jefferson Often farmers, not businessmen Thought the states should keep most of the power.

Federalists Alexander Hamilton John Jay James Madison More businessmen

Viewpoints Federalists Anti-Federalists Supported the Constitution We need a strong central government…remember problems with Articles Believed 3 equal branches were necessary Bill of Rights was not necessary because the new gov. didn’t have the power to abuse the people’s rights Anti-Federalists Did not support the Constitution Took too much power from the states Federal gov. too strong Disagreed with the idea that the National government could keep an army in peace time Thought it needed a bill of rights
