What is a Federalist?  What is an Anti-Federalist?

The Constitutional Convention met in 1787 to draft a new Constitution.  When it was done it had to go out to all the states for ratification by 2/3 of the states.  The framers/founders knew that the Constitution would create controversy.  The Constitution was printed so everyone could read and debate it.  Two groups formed, one that supported the Constitution and the federalist ideals, and one who opposed it.

Read p.234 -235 and create a T-chart about what the Federalist/Anti-Federalist supported/opposed.

The Great Compromise solved the problem of representation (Senate - 2 from each state & House of Representatives base on population - 1 for each 30,000 people).  Anti-Federalist that it was not good enough.  One person could not represent 30,000 people.

What did Federalist believe about representation in the Constitution?

Read the following documents from the New York Constitution Ratification Convention in 1787 and decide for yourself.

What would Alexander Hamilton be?  Thomas Jefferson?

Federalist Win!  Anti-Federalist succeed in having individual rights included in the Constitution in the form of the Bill of Rights.

What observations can you make about the Constitutional Ratification results?
