Question

what do you think are some of the issues that the federalists and the anti federalists were discussing in 1788 that people still care about today?

Answer 1

Answer:

- How much taxes the federal government can impose.

- How much intervention the federal government can do to citizens' day to day life.

Explanation:

The issues between federalists and anti-federalist revolved around the power of the federal government. The Federalist wanted the federal government to have a huge power that could directly impacted the citizens while the anti-federalist wanted the federal government to has very little power.

Taxations and government's involvement in our social life could be tied directly to those issues.

Giving government more power tend to lead to higher taxes. This issues still bothered the citizens even today. On top of that, issues regarding whether government can intervene in social life (such as preventing women to get abortion or banning a certain protest to be held) is also an issue that people talked about these days.
