The Anti-Federalists felt that the Constitution of 1788 granted too much power to the federal government at the expense of state power and desired a return to the Articles of Confederation, ratified in 1781. In contrast, the Federalists believed that the Articles of Confederation did not grant enough power to the federal government, and they are the ones directly responsible for the Constitution of 1788.
