Patriots and Loyalists
During the Founding Period of the United States, two basic sides emerged in the ongoing debate concerning the privileges and responsibilities (and so forth) of the American government. The Federalists favored a very strong central (or, federal) government that would oversee each state in the union. The Anti-Federalists, by contrast, favored a weaker central government, with each state in the union having the most privilege (and responsibility) in respect to governance within its boundaries.The Declaration of Independence divided the Colonists into patriots and loyalists. The patriots wanted freedom from British rule, while the loyalists wanted to remain loyal to the King.
