Abstract:
Anti-federalists, The Federalist Papers, and the big argument
for union. Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy
This article discusses the Anti- Federalist view by the individuals who
opposed ratification of the Constitution in 1787. The Anti-Federalists
wanted local governments and opposed a large central governing body.
They were also concerned with the everyday citizen and wanted them
to be able to participate in the government, not just the societal elite.
The focus then moves to the Federalist Papers, specifically number 10
and 51 along with James Madisons idea that there should be a strong
central government to protect citizens against state governments.
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson was born April 13, 1743 in Virginia. When appointed to Congress, the
Articles of the Confederation provision barring slavery didnt pass, but Congress did
adapt Jeffersons Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787.
Jefferson and James Madison worked together in 1791 to begin to organize the first party
to oppose parts of the new Constitution. After being elected Vice President, Jefferson
worked behind the scenes to increase resistance to the Federalist majority that made up
Congress.
