In 1788, two opposing groups emerged in response to the draft US Constitution - the Federalists who supported it, including Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, George Washington and John Adams, and the Anti-Federalists who opposed it, such as Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee and George Mason. A debate will be held next Monday between Federalist students Declan, Emma and Amy and Anti-Federalist students Chris, Sarah and Mary to argue whether all states should ratify the Constitution, with Jason keeping time and Elle and others judging the most convincing team.

The date is September 1788 and the draft constitution has been
circulated. Two opposing groups have emerged the federalists and
the anti-federalists. Some famous federalists included: Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, George Washington and John Adams Some famous anti-federalists were: Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee and George Mason. The list of illustrious individuals in our History class who will oppose each other in debate on the motion that all states should ratify the Constitution is no less impressive. Next Monday, the federalists (Declan, Emma and Amy) will meet in debate against the anti-federalists (Chris, Sarah and Mary). All speakers must speak for 3-5 minutes. The time-keeper for this titanic struggle will be Jason. Elle will be the adjudicator and will vote on the most convincing teams alongside Entsar, Jack and Christina. Use your textbook, outside sources and the questions on the board for preparation. Good luck!
