=Essential Question: What were the differences between the federalist and anti-federalist? =

The Constitution was not a sure thing when it was first written. The founders in Philadelphia sent the Constitution out to the thirteen states hoping that the state conventions would ratify the new government. The founders knew that there was one glaring omission to the Constitution which was a Bill of Rights. Two groups, one in support of the Constitution (the federalist) and one against ratification the (anti-federalist) quickly organized. The debate over ratification would become very public and prove to be a pivotal turning point in U.S. History.
