Federalist+v.+Anti-Federalists

The disagreement between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists was about the division of power between the central and state governments. Federalists believed that the central government should have more power, while Anti-federalists believed more power should go to the states and the people. The anti-federalists argued that the constitution gave too much power to the central government and didn't provide much protection for the rights of the people, therefore they wanted to ratify the Bill of Rights. Although the federalists thought the addition of the bill of Rights was uneccesary, the bill of rights was still created so that there can be an equal division of power between central and state governments.
