Which statement about how Federalists and the Anti-Federalists felt about the constitution are true

History
1 answer:
sattari [20]3 years ago
6 0

Anti-Federalists argued that the Constitution gave too much power to the federal government, while taking too much power away from state and local governments.   Many felt that the federal government would be too far removed to represent the average citizen.  Anti-Federalists feared the nation was too large for the national government to respond to the concerns of people on a state and local basis. The Anti-Federalists were also worried that the original text of the Constitution did not contain a bill of rights.  They wanted guaranteed protection for certain basic liberties, such as freedom of speech and trial by jury. A Bill of Rights was added in 1791.  In part to gain the support of the Anti-Federalists, the Federalists promised to add a bill of rights if the Anti-Federalists would vote for the Constitution

Federalists believed that the nation might not survive without the passage of the Constitution, and that a stronger national government was necessary after the failed Articles of Confederation. The Federalists met Anti-Federalist arguments that the new government created by the Constitution was too powerful by explaining that the document had many built-in safeguards, such as:

  • Limited Government:  Federalists argued that the national government only had the powers specifically granted to it under the Constitution, and was prohibited from doing some things at all.
  • Separation of Powers:  Federalists argued that, by separating the basic powers of government into three equal branches and not giving too much power to any one person or group, the Constitution provided balance and prevented the potential for tyranny.
  • Checks and Balances:  Federalists argued that the Constitution provided a system of checks and balances, where each of the three branches is able to check or limit the other branches.

Natalka [10]

Since the main economic activities revolve around the NASA's space center because of the quantity of people it attracts and works there, once the facilities are closed you can predict their average household income shall decrease because there will not be as many people around anymore. This has happened in other cases with petroleum companies, many towns have formed around their facilities and once they move the towns have to face a big income decrease.
