Was James Monroe anti-federalist

Answer 1

At the 1787 Constitutional Convention he was a very strong Federalist. His "Virginia Plan" formed the basis of the US Constitution as it finally emerged, and indeed he would have liked to go further. He accepted defeat only very grudgingly on granting each state an equal vote in the Senate, preferring both chambers to assign representation on an population basis, and also wished Congress to be able to veto state legislation, as the British government could disallow that of Colonial assemblies. In short, he was probably a stronger Federalist than anyone bar Alexander Hamilton. However, when the first party system emerged, Madison did not join the Federalist Party, preferring Jefferson's Democratic-Republicans, who had majority support in his native Virginia.
