Federalists were for the proposed constitution, while the anti-federalists were opposed because they thought it gave the national government too much power and took too much from the states.

What is the difference in the vision of the US between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists?

After the Articles of Confederation were written, there were problems with it. Confederationists thought that the Articles were a fine way to run the country, but the nationalists did not. They favored a stronger national government than the one the Articles provided. Later, the founding fathers wrote the constitution, but there were some problems getting it ratified, or passed. This is where federalists and anti-federalists came into play. Anti-federalists were against the constitution, and in case you haven't already guessed, most ant-federalists were confederationists to start off. Federalists were all for the ratification of the constitution of the United States.
