The Federalists and Anti-Federalists emerged in the late 18th century during the debate over the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Federalists, like Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, advocated for a strong central government to maintain order and unity, believing it necessary for the nation’s stability and economic growth. In contrast, Anti-Federalists, including figures like Patrick Henry and George Mason, feared that a powerful federal government would threaten individual liberties and states' rights, advocating for stronger protections for civil liberties and a more decentralized governmental structure. Their differing views on the balance of power ultimately shaped the political landscape of early America.
