Anti-Federalists were the precursor to the Democratic-Republican party lead by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. They originally called themselves anti-Federalists because they opposed that party's political ideology.
The Federalists controlled the US government in the first decade after the Constitution was ratified, but began to fall out of favor around the turn of the 19th century when Thomas Jefferson defeated John Adams in the 1800 Presidential election.
