Fedaralists & Anti-Federalists
By Vladislav Yasinskiy
Federalists
The federalists wanted a very strong central government while having weak state governments. Their most favorite document was the constitution because it established America's national fundamental laws and government. The good thing about a strong central government is that it is bigger and better and also it is able to bring any local governments into knowing all the federal laws. They disliked the weak state government because if bad decisions were made, they were applied to everyone which would be bad for the entire country. The Federalists believed in having a large peacetime army and navy. In conclusion, the Federalists did not believe in the BIll of Rights because it only limited the government and not the people.
