Also the Anti Federalist, who were strongly against the ratifying of the constitution. The anti federalist were proud supporters of the current states authority and government, they prided the states as being perfect the way they were and were reluctant to relievate power to a government. The federalist were the opposite and wanted a strong central government that could protect and serve the people. The anti federalist even if unsuccessful still managed to influence the federalist to make the bill of rights.  ]]> 2018-01-24 18:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_maddox1/x2bm6knxm294/wish/224359490 zykirah_lee https://padlet.com/aaron_maddox1/x2bm6knxm294/wish/224359655 The Articles of confederation mandated that legislation could only be  ratified by nine of thirteen state legistlatures.

The federalist papers were created to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution. 

Specific arguments made that supported the Federalist Papers was the conflict between political and economic interest. The system of checks and balances would be created with the ratification of the Constitution meaning that conflicts could be decided through a Congress and can be vetoed by the President and subjected to judicial review.]]> 2018-01-24 18:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_maddox1/x2bm6knxm294/wish/224359880 david_welsh https://padlet.com/aaron_maddox1/x2bm6knxm294/wish/224360097 Once written, the Constitution could only be ratified if 9 of the 13 original states chose to ratify it.
At this point in time, 2 factions had emerged, similar to the political parties we have today. They were called the Federalists and anti-Federalists. The Federalists supported the adoption of the Constitution, while the anti-Federalists did not.
It took some time, but eventually the anti-Federalist states chose to ratify the Constitution, but only with suggestions for amendments to be made post-ratification.
These amendments would eventually come in the form of the Bill of Rights. Originally, 12 amendments were requested, but only 10 of them made it into the bill; one was scrapped and the other was not added to the Constitution until 1992.
