In 1788, Federalists faced the challenge of convincing skeptics of the proposed U.S. Constitution, particularly regarding concerns over a strong central government potentially infringing on individual liberties and state rights. The lack of a Bill of Rights in the original Constitution heightened these fears, leading to significant opposition from Anti-Federalists. Federalists worked to address these concerns through a series of essays known as the Federalist Papers, advocating for the Constitution's ratification by emphasizing its ability to create a more effective and stable government. Ultimately, the promise of a Bill of Rights helped to secure the Constitution's adoption.
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.

The debate between Federalists and Anti-Federalists over the Constitution ultimately resulted in the ratification of the Constitution in 1788. Federalists, who supported a strong central government, prevailed by arguing for the need for a unified nation. However, to address Anti-Federalist concerns about individual liberties and government overreach, the Bill of Rights was added in 1791, securing fundamental rights and freedoms. This compromise helped to unify the country and establish a framework for governance.
