Federalists v. Anti-Federalists What type of government did they prefer?

Constitutional Convention meets in 1787 to draft a new constitution Biggest Debate Representation! populous states wanted proportional representation, and emptier states wanted equal representation. Great Compromise Bicameral legislature 2 senators per state and 1 representative for every 30,000 people Anti- Federalists did not believe the number of reps was sufficient

What was Hamilton’s position on representation? What was Smith’s position? What arguments did they make in support of their claims? Based on these arguments, what type of people would you guess tended to be Federalists? Anti-Federalists? If you could have chosen, what side would you have supported? Do you see versions of these issues being debated today?

What happens? New York ratified the Constitution by a vote of 30-27 (the narrowest margin of victory of any state that met in 1787-88). The Anti-Federalists lost the battle but won the war. The first 10 amendments to the Constitution—the Bill of Rights—were ratified in1791. These addressed many of the issues that the Anti-Federalists raised in the conventions.
