Why did the antifederalists believe that the convention had violated congress's original instructions and how did the federalists respond?

one of the early criticisms of the constitution was that the delegates had secretly developed a plan of government that went beyond their instructions. the anti federalists argued that the delegates had done far more than proposing amendments to fix the problems with the Articles of Confederation's delegates had created a new system of government. this concern was exemplified in a letter written by "A Republican federalist" to the members of Massachusetts state convention. He stated that " that the original design of forming the convention has not been carried into effect." Therefore. since the delegates acted in violation of their instructions," ....they ceased to be a federal convention, and had no more right to propose to then United States the new form of government, than the equal number of gentlemen ..."
The Federalists did not grant the point to the Antifederalists. James Madison spent all of the fortieth essays in the federalist series to explain how the convention had actually done its work within the context of the instructions from congress.

A major function of the Union Navy against the Confederacy was Ironclad ships . The Confederacy made the first ironclad ship (named the Virginia , but originally called the Merrimac) .

Why is it important for only Congress to print and coin money?
People are constantly asking the government to spend more money on them, in the form of welfare, social security, etc, without raising the taxes. The best means of doing so is to create inflation. Economists have noted that the highest increase of inflation can be about 5% before the public catches on a panics. In the US, the inflation rate is about 2.5%. One other issue the government has to take into consideration is the debt. To pay off the ever-increasing debt, congress coins that money.
