They felt that a strong national government might take their rights that they had won during the revolution away. The Federalists on the other hand argued that the Constitution did not need a Bill of rights because the Constitution did not give the government the authority to violate the rights of the people. They also argued that a strong national government can protect the states/nation from enemies and solve the nations internal problems. In the end, the Anti-Federalists were in the favor of the Constitution when the Federalists promised to add a Bill of Rights to it.]]> 2017-09-17 13:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nandi_patel/t8xinrde8vrj/wish/188221444 nandi_patel https://padlet.com/nandi_patel/t8xinrde8vrj/wish/188224056 Virginia and New York were two large and powerful states that had not casted a vote on the new Constitution.
