Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists Thomas Jefferson Alexander Hamilton Anti-Federalist Federalist

Ratification of the Constitution The Constitution was approved by the delegates on September 17, 1787. It was sent to the states for ratification on September 28, 1787.

Two sides emerge Federalists- Led by James Madison and Alexander Hamilton. These framers were pro-constitution and believed that a more powerful central government was needed. Anti-Federalists- Led by Patrick Henry, John Hancock and Samuel Adams. Felt too much power was given to the central government and not enough to the states.

Twisting of arms Thomas Jefferson was an ardent anti- federalist, however, George Washington and James Madison were able to convince him to assist in getting Virginia to ratify the Constitution.

The Federalist Papers 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay. Set out arguments for the new Constitution in an effort to get the New York legislature to ratify it. One of the most important literary works in US history.

Inauguration of the New Government The new Congress convened on March 4, 1789. It would meet to count electoral votes that would determine the first President of the United States. On April 6, by unanimous vote, George Washington is elected our first President.
