What was the major argument against the Constitution by the Anti-Federalists and what was added to alleviate their fears?

History

Katen [24]3 years ago

Answer:  Anti-Federalists argued that the Constitution gave too much power to the federal government, which would diminish the rights of the states and of individuals.  The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to alleviate their fears.

Further detail:

The Anti-Federalists had opposed ratification of the US Constitution.  The Articles of Confederation, in place prior to the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, had granted stronger authority to the states.  Patrick Henry and other Anti-Federalists were concerned about too much power winding up in the hands of the federal government and its executive branch, thus allowing a small number of national elites to control the affairs of the USA.  They feared this also would diminish the rights and freedoms of individual citizens.

The Bill of Rights, laid out in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, provided some reassurance to Anti-Federalists after the fight over ratification, because these amendments to the Constitution served to guarantee that individuals' rights would be protected under federal law.

In the ancient world, how were painters and sculptors viewed? art history
weqwewe [10]
Art was perceived as a manifestation of an individual's expression, beauty and perception of the world much like in today's society. However, for example in Ancient Egypt, artists were crucial as the hieroglyphics depicted imagery which was an expression for words to tell stories, accounts and beliefs. Sculptors too, played this role. Another example includes ancient China, during the Dynasty eras. Terracotta warriors were manufactured to symbolise nobility, loyalty and power, therefore making those who painted and sculpted a vital aspect in the making of visual literature. In essence, artists and sculptors rose to popularity in Ancient times as it was a new form of discovery, learning and interpretation of meaning.

How did court life at versailles contribute to the unpopularity of louis and marie antoinette?
otez555 [7]
The ensuing debt and financial crisis contributed to the unpopularity of the Ancien Régime. This led to the convening of the Estates-General of 1789. Discontent among the members of France's middle and lower classes resulted in strengthened opposition to the French aristocracy and to the absolute monarchy, of which Louis and his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette, were viewed as representatives. Increasing tensions and violence marked by events such as the storming of the Bastille during which riots in Paris forced Louis to definitively recognize the legislative authority of the National Assembly.
