Question

Do you think the Federalists or the Antifederalists had the more valid arguments?

Answer 1

Political Stance

Explanation:

It depends on your personal opinion. The Federalist Party was sort of a early Democratic Party. They believed in a strong, central government. This was a group made up by people like Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison. The Antifederalists were also sort of an early form of the Republican Party, in which they wanted limited government. This included Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and George Mason. Now the modern Democratic and Republican Party are far from the Federalist and Antifederalists party of then, but they do still have the same core value; Democrats- a strong central government and Republicans- a limited government. Again, which one was right is based on your own opinion if you like a lot of government or a little government.
