| | Anti-Federalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Federalist movement gradually showed broad-construction, nationalistic tendencies; the Anti-Federalist movement favored strict-constructionism and advocated popular rights against the asserted aristocratic, centralizing tendencies of its opponent, and gradually was transformed into the Republican Party of Thomas Jefferson. | | | This movement is sometimes called the Anti-Administration "Party", and it would coalesce into one of the nation's first two true political parties, the Republican Party of Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams and James Madison (not to be confused with the modern Republican Party). | | | They argued that the strong national government proposed by the Federalists was a threat to the rights of individuals and that the President would become a king. |

| | Federalists versus Anti-Federalists |
| | The decision to ratify the Constitution was not an arbitrary one. | | | In fact, three well-known Federalists (James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay) wrote a series of papers to encourage ratification, particularly by the state of New York. | | | James Madison is often referred to as the "Father of the Constitution," and Federalist papers 10 and 51 (which will be read as a part of this course) provide a wealth of insight into the mind of Madison. |

| | Participation in and submission to the Constitution was premised on the voluntary consent of the various States' that ratified it. | | | As editor Isaac Kramnick states in the introduction to The Federalist Papers, "In state after state, often only a handful of votes separated the pro-Constitution forces and the defeated opponents of the Constitution. | | | John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, understood by many to be the foremost political thinker and philosopher in American history, clearly stated the question the Federalists were afraid to broach and that we must continue to ask today. |
