The Federalists
· The Federalist position on the adoption of the Constitution was the argument of the difficulties facing the Republic which could be overcome only by the new government based on the proposed Constitution.
Patrick Henry opposed the adoption of the Constitution because he did not support a strong central federal government. He saw this type of government as a way back to a monarchy. He believed that the Constitution would deprive individuals and states of their rights. While he never supported the Constitution he was instrumental in ensuring that the Bill of Rights was included in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, thereby restricting the powers of the federal government.
The 55 white men who wrote the constitution were the cream of the colonies and the wealthy educated men. They supported the constitution and didn't ask for others to support it.
As of 1789 and the adoption of the constitution the United States has been a democracy.

They weren't against the adoption of the Constitution per say, they were in favor of adding a Bill of Rights. Anti-Federalists believed that a country could not be governed by an all-powerful central government, it needed to have amendments.
