Seminar 2
be ratified that a Bill of Rights had to be included. They felt that this was necessary
because they wanted the rights of citizens to be protected under a large national
government. Anti-Federalists such as George Mason believed that the rights of
citizens would not be protected unless there was a Bill of Rights with the
Constitution because he believed that each individual states laws would not offer
protection for the nation as a whole. Anti-Federalists believed that a national Bill of
Rights would protect people regardless of their social status or where they lived
(document 5).
A mix of a possible concluding paragraph: Major belief differences in how
government should function between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists led to a
debate over the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution. Each governing
document grants different powers to the state and federal governments. One of the
major belief differences between the two parties was how the power would be
divided among the branches of government. (I chose to side with the Federalists
because) Federalists wanted three equal branches whereas the Anti-Federalists
thought this gave the national government too much power and wanted a strong
legislative branch only. (I chose to side with the Anti-Federalists because) AntiFederalists felt that a strong central government threatens the rights of the citizens
and the state governments, and demanded a Bill of Rights be included in the
Constitution. (Another reason I chose to side with the Federalists is because) The
Federalists believed that the federal government needed to have the power to tax
and regulate things such as trade in order to keep the states in uniformity, and
prevent problems from arising between states.
