Federalists
Since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the United States was governed under the Articles of Confederation. This was until the Constitution was formed. The acceptance of the Constitution technically was an overthrow of the government, so it could be argued that the country was born anew in 1789.
Under the articles of confederation there was no central government and that is what the problem was with it. The was a confederation of states and each state saw itself as an individual place rather than one of many. They,printed their own money, charged fees at state lines, argued with each other over state boundaries and this didn't work.
The idea of creating a new system of government instead of amending the Articles of Confederation was largely championed by Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. At the Constitutional Convention in 1787, they argued for a stronger federal government to address the weaknesses of the Articles. Their advocacy led to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, which established a more robust and effective government framework.
Alexander Hamilton believed that a strong central government was essential to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. He argued for a robust federal system that could effectively manage economic issues, maintain order, and provide for national defense. Hamilton advocated for a powerful executive branch and a national bank to stabilize the economy and promote commerce, viewing these measures as vital to creating a more unified and effective government. His vision ultimately influenced the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.

The anti-federalists were opposed to the Constitution because they felt it established a federal government that was too powerful. They argued that a strong national government would diminish the power of the States.
Yes. At the end of the revolution the colonies were not united and they saw themselves as separate places. They minted their own money, charged fees for commerce from other states, argued over borders, and we're afraid of a strong central government. They didn't want another king so the articles were a compromise. A poor one, but it got them through to the constitution.
Jared Ingersoll was in favor of ratification of the U.S. Constitution. As a delegate from Pennsylvania to the Constitutional Convention, he supported the new framework of government, believing it would create a stronger national structure. Ingersoll argued that the Constitution would help address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and promote stability and unity among the states.

I'd have to guess the fact only the states had power, and central congress didn't really have any. (The states argued about it as well)
