Presentation transcript:

The Federalist and Anti-Federalist The Voices of Reason Persuasion and Advantages

JAMES MADISON Writes The Federalist papers because he supports a strong central government Writes the first 10 amendments to the Constitution

ALEXANDER HAMILTON Alexander Hamilton a lawyer co-writes several The Federalist essays Supports a strong national government and ratification of the Constitution

Patrick Henry Active leader during the Revolution who demanded that the British “give me liberty, or give me death!" He is against the Constitution because it reduced states rights and had no Bill of Rights

George Mason Anti-Federalist, a Virginian Plantation owner Wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights which becomes the model for the Bill of Rights He refused to sign the Constitution until a Bill of Rights was included

The Federalist and Anti-Federalist Federalists are supported the Constitution and tended to be supported by merchants and urban areas Anti-Federalist did not want the Constitution passed and are supported by small farmers and rural settlers

DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW Federalists argued for Wanted a strong national government Three branches of government filled with men of “reputation” Wanted a president to lead executive branch No Bill of Rights Antifederalists argued States should have power Wanted legislative branch to be strongest branch of government Feared a strong president in office A Bill of Rights would protect the rights of Americans

The Federalists Papers John Jay, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison wrote the Federalist Papers to get support for the Constitution. Papers addressed issues such as representation, rights of individuals and majority rule. The Anti-Federalists respond in the “Objections to the Constitution of Government formed by the Convention”, which argued the fear of a strong executive branch and the absence of a Bill of Rights.

An Unfair Advantage? The Federalists publish their essays in New York newspapers and pamphlets in 1787-1789 Newspapers support the Federalist side and publish more Federalist writings than Anti-Federalist writings!
