Why might the Anti- Federalists think the constitution would reduce the power of the states?
it raised the power of the government by a lot. and therefore reducing the states power
What was the Anti-Federalists' main concern about the Constitution?
The anti-federalists believed that the Constitution would take away critical powers from the states, and warned that without a Bill of Rights the government might also take away the rights of the people that were just won in the Revolution.
What argument did president Abraham Lincoln use against the secession of the southern states?
Lincoln reasoned that the union created by the Constitution must remain intact. While the southern states claimed they had the right to secede, and that might have been true, the Constitution did not allow them to join any league or confederacy besides the United States of America. Thus, he argued, the existence of a Confederacy was in direct violation of the US Constitution.
Why did framers of the constitution favor bicameralism?
The framers of the Constitution favored bicameralism because it allowed for equal and fair representation. This is favorable to both large and small states.
Why you think the great compromise is so important?
The Great Compromise was important because it allowed all the states to have the kind of representation in Congress that they wanted. In the Senate, the states with small populations were equal to the larger states because each state had two senators. The number of representatives that each state had in the House of Representatives was based on the size of the state's population. So each group got part of what they wanted. I think this compromise was very important because there might not have been a Constitution without it. Without the Constitution, I think the country might not have survived as a strong, free nation.
