Federalists differ?

DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW

The Federalist and Anti-Federalist

Federalists supported the Constitution and tended
to be supported by merchants and urban areas
Anti-Federalist did not want the Constitution
passed and are supported by small farmers and
rural settlers

Anti-federalists

Most Anti Federalists felt that the creation of a
strong central government was a direct betrayal
of the Revolution itself

The Federalists Papers

John Jay, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison
wrote the Federalist Papers to get support for
the Constitution. Papers addressed issues such as
representation, rights of individuals and
majority rule.
The Anti-Federalists respond in the Objections
to the Constitution of Government formed by the
Convention, which argued the fear of a strong
executive branch and the absence of a Bill of
Rights.

that the British give me liberty, or give me

He is against the Constitution because it
reduced states rights and had no Bill of Rights

becomes the model for the Bill of Rights

An Unfair Advantage?

The Federalists publish their essays (The
Federalist Papers) in New York newspapers and
pamphlets in 1787-1789
Newspapers support the Federalist side and
publish more Federalist writings than
Anti-Federalist writings!
