Question

If you were a delegate, would you be a Federalist or an Anti-Federalist and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

I would be a Federalist.

Explanation:

the main difference between the federalist and anti-federalists  is on their opinion on how much power the central government should have over the states.

Federalist wanted the government to have more power and the anti-federalist wanted the government to have less power. In Hindsight, anti-federalists' idea sounds better. Since it will give the government less influence to disrupt the people.

But considering the issues that they faced at the time, I believe more government power was necessary.

The earlier draft of the constitution did not provide the central government with crucial power such as ability to collect taxes or create a centralized military. Both of those issues were supported by the Federalist.
