Anti-Federalists opposed the ratification of the new US Constitution. They believed it gave too much power to the national government at the expense of the states's power. They favored the addition of a Bill of Rights to the new document before they would approve it. After the Constitution was ratified, the beginnings of political parties were formed, with the Federalists favoring more power to the national government and the Anti-Federalists favoring states' rights.
