Question

The Federalists and Anti-Federalists argued primarily over which issue?

Answer 1

B. Fair state representation in the national Congress

Answer 2

Answer:

d. the range of power handed to the national government.

Explanation:

The main issue that divided the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists was the ratification of the Constitution. This was due to a deep disagreement when it came to the role of the national government, and the question of how much power this should have. On the one hand, the Federalists believed that the federal government should have significant power, and should be able to maintain the stability of the Union. On the other hand, the Anti-federalists worried that such power might lead to despotism, and instead wanted most power to be handed to the states.
