    The document outlines the differing views between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists in the early United States. The Federalists supported a strong central government and constitution while the Anti-Federalists preferred stronger state governments and opposed the constitution. Key disagreements included the Federalists' support for a national bank and strong president and the Anti-Federalists' fears of too much centralized power and authority. While opposed on many issues, the two sides did find some agreement with the passing of the Bill of Rights. Overall, the document draws a comparison between the historical division between Federalists and Anti-Federalists and modern divisions between Republicans and Democrats.

    National identity began to change as the United States began to grow overtime as a

    country. There were two new identities which became known as Federalists and Anti-Federalists
    which were very opposite from one another. The Anti-Federalists did not support the new
    Constitution while the Federalists supported the idea of the new constitution. The
    Anti-Federalists supported the Articles of Confederation and wanted less of a central
    government. However, the Federalists liked the idea of a centralized government. This led to the
    Bill of Rights being passed by the Federalists which allowed people to have freedom in this. The
    passing of this bill also allowed both parties to agree with each other.
    The challenges that were given with the Articles of Confederation were the main reason
    why the Federalists wanted a central government. The idea that a central government would be
    able to run the country better and help with laws was a common belief. Another belief that they
    had was having control and power with the army in one place to help the conflicts and debt. The
    Anti-Federalists opposed this and believed that this power should be given to the people and the
    states. They believed people should have more power because they did not want a central
    government to take all power and misuse it. Additionally, the Bill of Rights was created for this
    reason so that people could not be taken advantage of by the government.
    During the delegations, the Federalists and Anti-Federalists disagreed upon many topics
    and ideas that the Federalists brought up. The Anti-Federalists disagreed with the idea of a
    National bank to manage and take control of the country’s money. They also wanted to grow the
    country’s wealth and to pay off state debts. The Anti-Federalists disagreed with this and believed
    that the government had too much control over the people and feared that this could lead to the
    abuse of power.
    The anti-federalists also did not agree with the idea of a president. They feared that it was
    too similar to what the monarchy was like in Britain and feared abuse of power. With that, they
    did want to have any interaction with the British, even when it came to trade. The federalists on
    the other hand wanted to trade with the British to help the country grow more easily and gain
    more wealth.
    In conclusion, The Federalists and Anti-Federalists did not seem to agree on much
    together and were very opposite from each other. Similarly today, we have the Republican and
    Democratic parties. Federalists are similar to democrats due to their beliefs in a central
    government and having more taxes. The Anti-Federalists represent the Republican due to their
    belief in not having a strong central government. These two parties similarly have disagreements
    with each other like the Federalists and Anti-Federalists did.
