federalists versus anti-federalists
Definition
- The Federalists and Anti-Federalists conducted a spirited debate over ratification of the U.S. Constitution beginning in late 1787 and continuing through the following year. This momentous struggle about the nature of the American union and its future central government had its genesis in the American Revolution, which had ended 6 years earlier.The Revolution succeeded by virtue of a temporary coalition of competing viewpoints and conflicting interests.
