Difference Between Federalist And Anti Federalists
According to Mr. Budas, an eighth grade Social Studies teacher at McCord Junior High there are three major differences between the Federalist and the Anti Federalist. The first major difference is, the federalist believed in a strong central government and were for a new constitution. The Anti Federalist opposed the constitution. They believed that it would give the federal government too much power and they would revert back to how it was with Great Britain. Another major difference is, the federalist believed in representation and that it should be based on the population of the state. The anti federalist believed that states should have the same representation in Congress and that one person was not enough to represent so many people.
