Federalists VS the Anti- Federalists Anti- Federalists feared a strong central government Would not ratify the Constitution unless the bill of rights was added Federalists- wanted to strengthen the national govt. to provide order Did not believe the B.o R. was necessary b/c Constitution limited the power govt. power

In order to get the Constitution Ratified the B. of R. had to be added. Despite the promise of the Bill of Rights, support for the new Constitution was lacking in Va. and NY Federalist papers- A series of pro- ratification essays written by Hamilton, Jay, and Madison, helped gain support for the Constitution in Va. And NY

Bill of Rights First ten amendments to the Constitution The Bill of Rights limits the powers of the federal government of the United States, protecting the rights of all citizens B. of R. ensures that basic freedoms such as speech, religion, press, assembly, trial by jury, etc are all protected.
