Government Help..!?

Question

What are five arguements the Federalists && Anti-Federalists argued about?
Please explain && be specific!

Thanks in advance! :) Please help me if you know!

Answer 1

The Federalists carry the following issues:

-The separation of powers into three independent branches protected the rights of the people. Each branch represents a different aspect of the people, and because all three branches are equal, no one group can assume control over another.
-A listing of rights can be a dangerous thing. If the national government were to protect specific listed rights, what would stop it from violating rights other than the listed ones? Since we can't list all the rights, the Federalists argued that it's better to list none at all.

The Anti-Federalists did not want to ratify the Constitution. Basically, they argue on the following:

-That it gave too much power to the national government at the expense of the state governments.
- There was no bill of rights.
- The national government could maintain an army in peacetime.
- Congress, because of the `necessary and proper clause,' wielded too much power.
- The executive branch held too much power.
