Anti-Federalists were against the Constitution.
They supported strong state governments that would join together
as needed'. They opposed centralized federal government saying that the representation would eventually degenerate or disappear leaving a tyrannical 'closed' environment that didn't take into consideration "regular people".
They didn't want to give over any power from the state level to the federal level fearing it would cause big government to take over the lives of the citizens and concentrate too much power in a single person (the president turning into a king) or centralized 'federal level' groups - like Congress or the Supreme Court.
Federalists wanted the Constitution.
They wanted a balanced centralized system for executive, legislative and judicial branches. They favored national banking, centralized currency, the ability to tax (including borrowing and spending), and supported the core beginnings of our modern banking system.
