Without knowing what years you are interested in, it's difficult to answer this question. But it should be noted that whichever party is in power, its leaders will try to alter the rules to give their party more opportunity to pass legislation. For example, when Republicans held the majority in congress, during the first six years of the presidency of George W. Bush, they supported policies that gave President Bush more authority. More often than not, whatever President Bush's priorities were, congress went along with them, and the leaders in congress used various House and Senate rules to marginalize any opposition by the Democratic minority. By controlling the application of congressional rules, Republican priorities got through congress more easily.
In fairness, at times in the past, there have also been Democratic presidents and members of congress who used the rules to shepherd their policies and priorities through the House and the Senate.

Was Thomas Abraham Clark a anti-federalist?
He cant be. Thomas Jefferson was a Democratic Republican. Thomas Jefferson began as an Anti-Federalist. During the Presidency of George Washington, he was a member of the 'Opposition' faction. Eventually he joined the Republican party - not to be mixed up with the Republican party that was established 1856-today. These republicans were referred to as 'Democrats' by the Federalists, who thought their ideals were more mob-rule than true republicanism. Today they are sometimes called the Jeffersonian Republicans. This even, does not quite fit, since the party underwent many changes. IE, in 1825, the two parties were considered 'Jackson Democrats and the 'Adams Republicans'. By 1829, The Republicans/Jefferson's party had become the "Democratic Republicans" (The name that still sticks today in referring to his party). The Adams Republicans had become the "National Republicans." By 1835 or so, the Democratic Republicans had dropped the Republic and just become "Democrats". The National Republicans had become the "Whigs." In 1850, when the Democratic Party won the Missouri compromise, a major pro-slavery battle, the Whigs lost their prominence. Most Whigs joined with several other minor parties to form the "Republicans" (The republican party of today), while some joined the Democrats. The Republicans became a major thorn in the side to the pro-slavery Democrats, launching their first platform in 1856 focusing primarily on civil rights. So to answer your question more succinctly: He was an anti-Federalist/Opposition/'Republican' (In the sense of what became later the Democratic Republicans or Democrats or 'Jeffersonian Republicans', not modern Republicans.)
What does rule by the entire populace mean?
"Rule by the entire populace" is a democracy as everyone would vote and the general sentiment would rule. We have Democrats and Republicans because those are the two side of our country's system, though the founding fathers figured out how to make them coexist peacefully.
