Based on the excerpt above, the ideal needs to be established in the Constitution would be "Bill of rights should be established in the Constitution."
The Antifederalists papers written by prominent Americans such as Thomas Jefferson were the answer to the Federalists Papers written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison. The Federalists supported the creation of a strong central government as the new form of government for the United States. On the other hand, Antifederalists opposed that idea and demanded civil rights be included in the new constitution. That is when James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights that is the first ten amendments to the US Constitution that included liberties for the people.
The Federalists clashed frequently with Democratic-Republicans who disagreed sharply with what they regarded as a philosophy of "huge public debt, a standing army, high taxes, and government-subsidized monopolies"
