What were the main arguments of the anti-federalists?
They belived that the closer government was to the people, the easier it was for the people to keep it in check and thus the harder it was for the government to become tyrannical. Thus they felt that most governing power should be retained by the individual states and the central government should be given as little power as possible. They felt that the government created by the constitution could eventualy overwhelm the states and take away the ability of their people to govern themselves. Hence it would threaten their rights.

The Declaration of Independence was the first document to justify a revolution against an established government. The Declaration has three parts. It starts with a statement of basic human rights that all people enjoy--"rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" It then goes on to proclaim that a just government is one that has the consent of the people being governed.

The second part of the Declaration is listing of specific complaints the colonists had against King George III. The third part of the Declaration contains the actual statement of independence from Great Britain. MrV
