Assignment 4: Anti-Federalist / Federalist Project
Anti federalist

ANTIFEDERALIST
Their government was formed in 1781 by the Articles of Confederation, which had granted the predominance of power to the state governments.
They opposed the ratification of the 1787 Constitution.
Patrick Henry
(May 29, 1736 – June 6, 1799)
He was an American attorney, planter, a brilliant orator and a major figure of the American Revolution.
He is well known for his declaration to the Second Virginia Convention (1775): "Give me liberty, or give me death!"

FEDERALIST
FEDERALIST
They were enthusiastic supporters of a powerful and vigorous national government.
They eared a central government that was too strong and too far away.
The only thing they worried about was having a weak national government.
The Federalists believed that a sufficiently powerful national government would strengthen the fragile union and be able to promote the public good.

I will support Federalism because:
Equal states power
They were more organized
Protection of people's rights
They had a common belief
Why should you support Federalism?
They didn't share one unified position on the proper form of government.
It was necessary to “create a more perfect union” in order to improve the relationship among the states
They wanted to preserve the sovereignty and structure of the states.

National Government

Supporting the Constitution vs. Opposing the Constitution
I´ll support the Constitution because is a good idea.
The 1st US government was a one-house legislature, that couldn´t raise money because it relied on the states for military power and was seen as ineffective and weak.
It tried to balance the power between the central and state governments. It was the best way.
