Compact Theory
Compact theory
The Anti-Federalist advocated for the Bill of Rights. The Federalist were against including a bill of rights until Jefferson convinced Madison that "half a loaf is better than no bread".
Compact theory proposes that because the United States was formed by a compact among the states, the federal government is a creation of the states. Jefferson and Madison both subscribed to this notion.
James Madison was the co-founder, along with Thomas Jefferson, of the political party opposing the Federalists, known as the Democratic-Republicans. They formed the party in response to their disagreements with the policies of the Federalist Party, particularly their view of a strong central government. Madison and Jefferson advocated for states' rights and a more limited role for the federal government.
