Both Federalists and Antifederalists sought to secure the future of the United States, but their approaches differed significantly. Federalists advocated for a strong central government to maintain order and unity, believing it was essential for the nation's stability and economic growth. In contrast, Antifederalists prioritized states' rights and individual liberties, fearing that a powerful central government could lead to tyranny.
