The Federalists were NOT supported by which of the following groups?
Svetach [21]

To understand what Federalists and Anti-Federalists are, you first have to understand the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution of the United States, this was created because the colonists felt like they needed a formal government. Although the Articles of Confederation did some good in some ways, it was a very bad article that gave little to no power to the federal government. This meant that the government could not tax the people, they had to ask states for the money, this made it so they could not pay debts or pay for wars. The Articles of Confederation also made it so the government could not enforce any laws, which obviously leads to people taking advantage of the system and doing crime for their own benefit. After awhile, people began to grow sick of this, and wanted a new constitution which gave power to the federal government. This is where Federalists and Anti-Federalists come along. Federalists, wanted a new constitution for the United States, and they felt the Articles of Confederation was too weak. Anti-Federalists, opposed a new constitution for the United States, they were scared if too much power fell into the federal government's hands, the same thing would happen with what happened with Great Britain, and would fall succumb to "taxation without representation", or other unfair occurrences. The Federalists were not supported by Anti-Federalists or any other group that did not want to altar or make a new constitution for the United States.
