Once the Constitution is written it must go to the states for their approval
People will be able to vote for or against the Constitution

FEDERALISM – a system of government in which power is shared between the states and the national government
![Page 5: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
JAMES MADISON
• Writes The Federalist papers because he supports a strong central government
• Writes the first 10 amendments to the Constitution
![Page 6: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ALEXANDER HAMILTON
• Alexander Hamilton a lawyer co-writes several The Federalist essays
• Supports a strong national government and ratification of the Constitution
![Page 7: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
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
![Page 8: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
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
![Page 9: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
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!
![Page 10: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Two groups begin to develop:
1) FEDERALISTS – want the Constitution to pass as is
![Page 11: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2) ANTI-FEDERALISTS – do NOT want the Constitution to pass as is
![Page 12: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Constitution is awesome! I think everyone should rush out
and vote for it!
![Page 13: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1) Supported taking some powers from the states and giving them to the national government
![Page 14: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2) Wanted to divide powers among the different branches of government
![Page 15: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3) Wanted a single person to lead the executive branch
![Page 16: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Constitution is not worth the paper it is printed on! Where is the
Bill of Rights?
![Page 17: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1) Wanted the states to keep the most important powers
![Page 18: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2) Wanted the legislative branch to have more power than the executive branch
LEGISLATIVE (CONGRESS)
EXECUTIVE (PRESIDENT)
![Page 19: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3) Feared a single person in the executive branch might become a king or tyrant
![Page 20: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4) Believed a Bill of Rights need to be added to the Constitution to protect people’s rights
![Page 21: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Both sides published their viewpoints in newspapers, pamphlets, etc.
![Page 22: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
THE FEDERALIST PAPERS – a series of essays which supported the Federalists viewpoint (wanted the Constitution to pass)
![Page 23: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Federalists Anti-federalists
Supported removing some powers from the states and giving more powers to the National Government
Wanted important political powers to remain with the states
Favored dividing powers among different branches of government-filled with men of “reputation”
Wanted the Legislative Branch to have more power than the Executive Branch
Proposed a single person to lead the Executive Branch
Feared that a strong executive might become a king or a tyrant
No Bill of Rights Needed- they are “inferred” in the Constitution
Believed a Bill of Rights needed to be added to the Constitution to protect people’s rights
![Page 24: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Federalists had an advantage because most newspapers supported their cause
![Page 26: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Take a moment and reflect….
• Do the Anti-Federalists care more about protecting individual rights or promoting the common good?
• Do the Federalists care more about protecting individual rights or promoting the common good?
![Page 27: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Individual Rights
• The Anti-Federalists were more concerned with protecting the rights of the individual people and states, then promoting the pubic good as a whole.
![Page 28: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Common Good
• The Federalists were more concerned with promoting the common good of everyone then protecting individual rights
![Page 29: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• “All communities divide themselves into the few and the many. The first are the rich and well born; the other, the mass of people…. The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge or determine right. Give therefore the first class a ….permanent share in the government….they therefore will ever maintain good government.”

By June of 1788 a total of 9 states had ratified (passed) the Constitution
9 states were required to officially make it the legal form of government
![Page 53: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Two very important states though, Virginia and New York, had not yet passed it and were needed
![Page 54: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Virginia finally passes it once they are convinced it will soon add a Bill of Rights
![Page 56: September 24, 2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813f4a550346895daa04d5/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
New York passes it once they hear Virginia had
Rhode Island is the last state to officially ratify it in 1790
