Identifying Federalist and Antifederalist Ideas. Distinguish
the Federalist statements from the Antifederalist statements.
1. Federalist
…a federal government…ought to be clothed with all the
powers requisite to complete execution of its trust.
2. Antifederalist
If a majority be united by a common interest, the rights of the
minority will be insecure… In a society under the forms of
which the stronger faction can readily unite and oppress the
weaker, anarchy may as truly be said to reign as in a state of
nature where the weaker individual is not secured against the
violence of the stronger.
3. Antifederalist
…one government…never can extend equal benefits to all parts
of the United States. Different laws, customs, and opinions
exist in the different states, which by a uniform system of laws
would be unreasonably invaded.
4. Antifederalists
A bill of rights…serves to secure the minority against the
usurpation and tyranny of the majority.
5. Antifederalist
The…new form of government…declares a consolidation or
union of all the thirteen parts, or states, into one great whole.
…It is an intuitive truth that a consolidated republican form of
government [will lead]…into a monarchy, either limited or
despotic.
What were the Federalist Papers? Who wrote them?
papers promoting ratification of Const.; Jay, Hamilton, Madison
What compromise was met between the Federalists and the Antifederalists?
inclusion of the Bill of Rights
“We the People of the United States, in order to…
form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity
…do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
