What is A type of government in which the national government is weaker than the sum of its parts?
This type of government would be called a Confederation. The early United States under the Articles of Confederation and before the Ratification of the Constitution of 1787, operated this way. A perfect modern parallel would be the European Union.
This was an argument of the antifedalist?
The Anti-Federalists were of the idea a weaker federal government in favor of stronger state legislatures and did not entertain the idea of a new constitution.
What was the opposition of the US Constitution?
When the Constitution was written there were two groups of thought about running a government. There were the Federalist and the anti Federalist. Just as the names suggest the Federalist wanted a strong central government while the anti Federalist wanted a weaker central government and more power for states rights.
What did Jefferson think of Hamiltons excise tax?
Jefferson, who was democratic- republican and supported a weaker central government, says that the excise law is infernal, it's evil. It was stupid to have it in the constitution. He absolutely disagrees on the tax on whiskey. Jefferson was afraid that Hamilton would turn the government a monarchy.
What was the major issue of disagreement?
the major issue was the federalists versus the anti-federalists. Two opposing groups with differing views on how the government should be run. Kinda like the democrats and republicans today. Federalists favored a stronger national government and the anti-federalists favored a weaker federal goverment, more power for the state governments.
