Actually both sides had a good argument. A

At the time I would say that the federalists had the better argument only because they were for the Constitution. But, although they had a good improvment to the Articles of Confederation, many antifederalists made a very good point about a possible tyranny or oppressive rule by giving the central government (the president) power to tax and control the army. The Bill of Rights was also stongly enforced by the antifederalists, which was important to add to the laws. Overall, I think that federalists had the better argument. Benjamin Franklin was a federalist also, and he pointed out that the Constitution was not perfect, but it was about as good as it gets. It is hard to make a central government, and the Constitution was a very good improvment to the Articles of Confederation. It is also a matter of oppinion, so really is your choice of who had the better argument.

Define anti federalist?

An Anti-Federalist is someone who opposed the ratification of the United States Constitution during the late 1700s. They believed that the Constitution would create an even more powerful federal government that would threaten the rights and liberties of the people. Anti-Federalists wanted to keep the government decentralized and argued that a strong federal government would lead to tyranny and the loss of state-level autonomy. They also feared that the Constitution would lead to an imbalance of power between the states and the federal government. Their primary arguments against the Constitution were that it lacked a Bill of Rights to protect citizens from the government, and that it created a federal government with too much power. They argued that the government should be limited to specific and enumerated powers and that the states should retain their sovereignty. Anti-Federalists were also worried about the judicial branch, as they feared that it would be too powerful and could be used to oppress citizens.

Was Lincoln a federalist?

I believe Abraham Lincoln was a federalist. He was against slavery and most people against slavery were feds. (Federalists were for the const't.) I believe Lincoln was born in the North were most feds. were b/c they did not have slaves. Like in the South were most anti feds were slaves and they wanted to count slaves as citizens ( see the Virginia plan and New Jersay plan were we then came up with the great compromise.) Wrong. Lincoln was not a federalist-he was a nationalist or centralist. Federalism means the states make the federal government, not the other way around. Abraham Lincoln was the absolute opposite of a federalist, he began the movement that slowly began taking away states' rights and made the federal government stronger.

Was William Livingston a federalist?

Livingston, an American minister during the Jefferson term, was most probably the same party as his president: democratic - republican, or AKA anti-federalist. He negotiated the Louisiana Purchase, adding on land to the already expanded United States, and the Federalists were against the idea, so it wouldn't make sense if he was a Federalist.
