After the debacle of Shay's Rebellion (another topic entirely), there was a faction favoring a stronger, more centralized government than the confederacy created by the Articles of Confederation. These eventually became called the "Federalist" Party, so called, because they favored a centralized federalgovernment. The Constitution is proof of this, as are The Federalist Papers.

Describe the debate between the federalists and the anti federalists how did each group feel about the articles of confederation central the bill of rights?

The debate between Federalists and Anti-Federalists centered around the balance of power between the federal government and the states. Federalists supported a stronger central government, arguing that the Articles of Confederation were too weak to maintain order and effectively govern the nation. In contrast, Anti-Federalists favored the Articles, fearing that a strong central government would threaten individual liberties and state sovereignty. The Anti-Federalists advocated for the inclusion of a Bill of Rights to protect citizens' freedoms, which ultimately influenced the ratification of the Constitution.

Anti-federalists today feel the federal government has taken on too much power. Federal government has utilized the "elastic clause", interpretation of laws, and expanded powers to serve their best interests. Federalists feel they have justified by having the federal government take control when individual states could not have, (ie: September 11th, homeland security, recent economic crisis, international trade, Pearl Harbor, Cuban Missile Crisis, Stock market crash and depression, FDR and the new deal)
