Government is not what the federalists feared to be the most apparent source of tyranny. The federalists supported the idea of government. They actually believed that the most apparent source of tyranny was the Majority Rule - that is to say they thought that the popular majority would be able to unite and "trample on the rules of justice". It was the anti-federalists who believed that government was naturally tyrannical.

What was the source of conflict between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists?
The Federalists were in favor of ratifying the Constitution because they wanted a strong central government; the Anti-Federalists were opposed because they supported decentralized power and greater individual and States' rights. The Anti-Federalists in some states had enough power to force the Federalists to compromise by withholding their ratification until the Federalists agree to add the Bill of Rights. Eventually, all thirteen original states ratified the Constitution.
