Answer on E2020:

The Federalists created a system of checks and balances in the government. This system limited the power of the various branches of government so that one branch could not take all the power and become tyrannical. Each branch was also able to 'check' the powers of the other branches, so that no branch could act alone.

The ratification debates from 1788 to 1791 were marked by intense opposition from the Antifederalists, who argued against the proposed Constitution primarily due to concerns over the potential for a strong central government to infringe on individual liberties and states' rights. They organized public meetings, distributed pamphlets, and wrote essays—most notably in the "Anti-Federalist Papers"—to voice their concerns and mobilize public opinion.

This grassroots activism played a crucial role in shaping the final structure of the U.S. government.
