Anti-Federalists are people who do not agree with the Constitution. They believe that the biggest threat to the future of the United States is that the government is more likely to damage and take control of more power until its reign reigns the people completely.
Anti-Federalists want to add rights claims to the Constitution to offset the power of the federal government by protecting the rights of the citizens. Even if the Constitution is strengthened in the Bill of Rights, the Federal Government is not that strong.
We have the right. That's all. After the addition of the "Bill of Rights" to the "Constitution", I am very pleased that Anti-Federalists and the Constitution signed it. Governments without federal requirements are even more powerful
Patrick Henry opposed the Constitution.
George Clinton was elected vice president, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison passed away and served as Governor of New York from 1777 to 1801. He was afraid of the transition from the "unified" government to the "federal" government, he opposed the constitution.
Elbridge Gerry did not sign the Constitution. Because he thought the federal government would not function, but rather would make the state more powerful than the state.
Anti-Federalists are also worried that there is no specific rights list in the Constitution. They believe that the Bill of Rights is essential for protecting people from the federal government. Anti-Federalists do not want the powerful central government to deprive these rights. The lack of bills has become the focus of anti-federal anti-campaign campaign. Advocates of the proposed Constitution call themselves a federalist. For federalists, the Constitution is necessary to defend freedom and independence obtained from the American Revolutionary War. They believe that the three branches of the central government separate authority and protect people's rights. They also believe that listing rights may be dangerous.
One of the problems between federalists who support powerful national governments and anti-federalists who want to keep in touch with the state and local governments is the lack of a constitutional biblical bill that imposes specific restrictions on government power . Federalists believe that the Constitution does not need the Bill of Rights because citizens and states maintain the power not given to the federal government. Anti-Federalists think that the Bill of Rights is necessary to protect individual freedom
One of the most serious discussions between federalists and anti-Federalists is the need to use the Bill of Rights to limit the power of the new federal government. As we saw in this section, the Federalist considers the Bill of Rights to be unnecessary - and it may cause risks freely as it may lead to infringement of the rights not included - and Anti-Federalists will consider the provincial government will prove good by extending its power and influence, and citizens can not rely on Congressional good judgment to protect their rights.
