The federalist papers make the case for a federal system in the U.S. This would create a strong central government that is checked by state and local governments. The main idea is that people are inherently fractious and no ones faction should gain complete power.
Also, by allowing different layers of government, people are both involved and also there is a balance of power.
Opposed to the federalism, where people who only wanted states to have power and really no central government. This was refuted by the federalist as causing weakness in countries especially in the foreign affairs.
Answer C. Although the anti-federalists wanted a weak federal
government, fearing the possibility of another government in which they
had just revolted against, they were able to push for the Bill of
Rights. The Bill of Rights grants individuals protections from the
government, especially a corrupt government.
