Major arguments on the Anti-federalists and Federalists on the ratification of the constitution:

Anti-federalists:

  • They <u>opposed </u>the development of a strong federal government, preferring the power to say in hands of the <u>state and local governments.</u>
  • Most of the people who supported this ideal lived in <u>rural areas</u>.
  • They <u>opposed the Constitution</u> until the Bill of rights was added.
  • Their <u>representatives </u>were: Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams.
  • They wished for <u>local power </u>(famers and small rural communities) to regulate the economy.
  • They thought that each state should <u>manage their own revenue</u> and spend their money as they thought best.

Federalists

  • Wanted a powerful <u>national government.</u>
  • Most of the people who supported this ideal lived in <u>urban areas.</u>
  • They <u>proposed and supported the Constitution.</u>
  • Their <u>representatives</u> were: Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, John Jay and John Adams.
  • They wanted the economy to be dominated by the interests of big business and wanted the help of the <u>government to administer the economy. </u>
  • They were in favor of a <u>central bank and central financial policies</u>, because they thought that the differences in monetary policies led to economic issues.

The compromises made on:

  • Human rights: The Bill of rights (first 10 amendments of the constitution) are about personal, individual rights and freedom. These were included mostly to satisfy Anti-federalists.
  • Representation in congress: Equal representation in the senate and proportional representation in the House of Representatives was established.
  • Slavery: The 13th amendment was made about slavery. This amendment prohibited slavery and any forced servitude (except as a penalty of a crime).

Which of the following best describes serfs?
Sveta_85 [38]

Correct answer is: C. The lowest-level vassal in a feudal system.

Under Feudalism, there was a peasant status called Serfdom.  Serfs were bound and tied to the land, if sold they came with it. It was not slavery itself, but under the feudalism they were definitely the lowest form of "tenant" of the land.
