Hamilton was opposed by the antifederalists, who believed that the US would be better off with the states in power, not a strong central government. The antifederalists were led by Thomas Jefferson. Even though the antifederalists lost the argument, they greatly influenced the first 10 amendments in the US constitution, also known as the Bill of Rights.
National Government.
The national government
Colonies desired to have a national government in order to strengthen their welfare. They knew that would be better able to fight enemies and have conducive trade if they had a national government.
They believed that if the government got involved, the economy would get better.

The main agreements between the antifederalist and the federalist were about the bill of rights and the need for a government. The antifederalist demanded to have a bill of rights because it can explain the ideals described in the Declaration of Independence better than the Constitution because the bill of rights gives us freedom of press, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. Also, the federalist felt like it was important to have a government. They both disagreed. This is right luv
They argued that the new government would provide a better balance between the national government and state governments. Hope that helps!
Actually both sides had a good argument. AAt the time I would say that the federalists had the better argument only because they were for the Constitution. But, although they had a good improvment to the Articles of Confederation, many antifederalists made a very good point about a possible tyranny or oppressive rule by giving the central government (the president) power to tax and control the army. The Bill of Rights was also stongly enforced by the antifederalists, which was important to add to the laws. Overall, I think that federalists had the better argument. Benjamin Franklin was a federalist also, and he pointed out that the Constitution was not perfect, but it was about as good as it gets. It is hard to make a central government, and the Constitution was a very good improvment to the Articles of Confederation. It is also a matter of oppinion, so really is your choice of who had the better argument.
Federalists: supporters of constitution favoring balance of power between states/national government-insisted that division of powers and system of checks and balances would protect Americans from tyranny of centralized authorityAntifederalists: against constitution because they opposed having a strong central government-feared that strong central government would serve interests of privileged minority and ignore rights of majority, also raised doubts that single government could manage the affairs of an entire country-main argument centered on Constitution's lack of protection of individual rights
