The Anti-Federalists opposed the new U.S. Constitution for numerous reasons. They distrusted large, powerful national governments and believed liberty could only be protected in small republics in which the rulers were closely checked by the public. They believed a large nation could best be governed by a confederation, with local governments having the most control.
Federalists favored a strong national government with supreme power over state governments. Leaving too much power in the hands of the states would only create another confederacy type of government with little power to act. The rights of citizens would be protected from the government via legislation, the courts, and the Bill of Rights. Federalists distrusted the masses to select the best candidates so they made only the House of Representatives directly elected by the people.

What is the difference between federalist and anti federalist?
There were many, but it can be summarized as such: Federalists believed in a stronger centralized government and that the states were essentially part of one union that could enact laws upon all states. This party was primarily driven by Alexander Hamilton who correctly saw the need for this to happen from a economic stand-point, to pay off America's early debt and to establish a unified currency. The Anti-Federalists believed in strong states rights and a very minimalist federal government for many reasons. One such was a rational fear that a central government's president might be thought of as a King; whom they had just fought a revolutionary war against. Eventually the less-popular Federalists lost their power and for a period of time America had a one-party system within the Anti-Federalist party called the Democrat Republicans.

What is the difference in the vision of the US between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists?
After the Articles of Confederation were written, there were problems with it. Confederationists thought that the Articles were a fine way to run the country, but the nationalists did not. They favored a stronger national government than the one the Articles provided. Later, the founding fathers wrote the constitution, but there were some problems getting it ratified, or passed. This is where federalists and anti-federalists came into play. Anti-federalists were against the constitution, and in case you haven't already guessed, most ant-federalists were confederationists to start off. Federalists were all for the ratification of the constitution of the United States.
