The anti-federalists opposed the ratification of the U.S. Constitution on the basis that it provided a powerful centralized government. They were led by Patrick Henry, George Mason, and George Clinton.
The Federalists, including Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, wrote the Federalist Papers, which argued for ratification of the Constitution without a Bill of Rights. Anitfederalists also wrote papers in response-- they wanted a Bill of Rights to be added before the Constitution was ratified.1Comment
