The main issue that the federalists and anti-federalists disagreed upon was the Bill of Rights. The federalists believed that the people should just have the constitution, however the anti-federalists believed in making a bill of rights so the people could see what there rights were.

Answer 4

The main disagreement was the issue of a strong federal government, supported by Federalists, or a weak federal government with strong state government or rights, which was supported by anti-federalists, hence the name. But more importantly, while Anti-Federalists strongly disagreed with a federal government they would concede to it if a bill of rights was attached, to protect the people from potential tyranny.

Answer 5

The federalists and anti-federalists were the two political factions when the constitution was created. Federalists were in favor of the constitution the anti-federalist in oppositions.

This was later solved by promises for the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the constitution that cannot be violated, and the addition of checks and balances.
