In terms of governmental separation with regards to powers, the interests of both the

Federalists and Anti-federalists were fufilled with equal respect. Most notably, the rise of the central
government in power/importance and the addition of a Bill of Rights for the sake of the people.

Document 1 notably exemplifies the prototypical idea of how the government—specifically the
national (central) government—should possess the power to exercise control over affairs necessitating
uniformity as proposed by the federalists. As of now, this federalist idea has stayed pertinent given the
establishment of the United States Customs and Border Protection Agency (previously the United States
Customs Service in 1789) which handles every aspect as outlined by Madison in the excerpt—trade
regulation, taxation on imports and exports (tariffs), and immigration regulation. The CBP is maintained
by the federal government as an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security—
meaning these powers belong to the national government as originally desired.

Document 2's viewpoints could be viewed as the direct antithesis to the ideologies discussed in
Document 1. As it was presented, the Constitution did not protect the freedom of press—thus
necessitating immediate modification that would allow for this and various other personal liberties.
George Bryan—an anti-federalist—viewed the establishment of a strong national government as a
detriment to the sovereignty of the states, becoming a monarchy of sorts. It is for this reason that Bryan
and the anti-federalists as a whole advocated the inclusion of a bill of rights that would guarantee state
sovereignty and independent jurisdiction. As is present (since 1791), the anti-federalists have succeeded
in establishing the fundamental 10 amendments which constitute the Bill of Rights—the first of which
guarantees the freedom of press that George Bryan and various other anti-federalists expressed concern
about.
