At the beginning of the independent US, the Articles of Confederation was our Constitution (document stating the basic national laws) giving most of the power to the state government. A few years later, 55 men (including Ben Franklin and George Washington) were called to revise the Articles of Confederation. When they started the meeting, they decided that they needed a stronger national government therefore deleting the articles of confederation and starting the US Constitution. The Fedralists were the people who were for the new Constitution but the anti-fedralsists were against the new constitution. Most of the anti-fedralsists were in the state government and that is why they were against it; they would lose power.
The issue that divided them was that the federalist were in favor of a strong central government while the anti federalists were opposed to it.
The Anti-Federalist lost due to the fact that they were unorganized.
The Federalist vs. Anti-Federalist debate created a foundational dialogue about the balance of power between the federal government and the states. Federalists advocated for a strong central government to ensure stability and unity, while Anti-Federalists feared that such power would threaten individual liberties and state sovereignty. This debate ultimately led to the inclusion of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution, addressing Anti-Federalist concerns and establishing protections for individual freedoms. It also laid the groundwork for ongoing discussions about federalism and governance in the United States.
