... This document, known as the Constitution, was submitted for ratification by the
states on September 17, 1787. Fierce debates arose between the Federalists and the
Anti-Federalists, and the ratification initially seemed improbable. Then The Federalist
Papers were published and a compromise on the Bill of Rights was made, leading to the
adoption of the Constitution.
The Federalists supported a strong central government and therefore supported the
Constitution, while the Anti-Federalists advocated a weak central government and
disapproved of the Constitution. ... The
Anti-Federalists argued that the Constitution would cause disregard for the work of the
Revolution and for personal rights, and would also limit democracy and states’ rights.
