The weakest part of the Anti-Federalists was their lack of a unified alternative to the Constitution, which made it difficult for them to present a cohesive vision for governance. Their arguments often relied on fear of centralized power without offering practical solutions for effective federal governance. Additionally, their emphasis on states' rights sometimes undermined their appeal to a broader audience concerned about national unity and strength. This fragmentation ultimately weakened their position against the Federalists during the ratification debates.

There were two sides to the Great Debate: the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. The Federalists wanted to ratify the Constitution, the Anti-Federalists did not.
