The Federalist's structure of government is efficient and rational. To have the nation unified under a strong central power, it leads us to be stronger as a country and within our military force. It is undoubtedly accurate that we need to have our rights established, and our freedoms secured by those whom we trust to enforce our safety. And in the end, it's true we all want to make sure the government is restricted to its basic function, keep the power limited, and ensure that it also abides by set boundaries.
See, here's where Anti-Federalist ideas intertwine with the views of the Federalists; we all want to prevent the government from attaining too much power and abusing it. But nobody is willing to stand up for those views? "As long as we can preserve our unalienable rights, we are in safety," as it says in the Anti-Federalist Paper number four. Which is something that really should be taken into consideration. "The territory of the United States is of vast extent; it now contains near three millions of souls, and is capable of containing much more than ten times that number," another quote from the Anti-Federalist papers, number one, explains how vast our country is and will become. It is indeed very true, but also another reason why we need to stay unified, and not let us treat state-lines as country borderlines.
The Federalist way of looking at things would be to understand that it was one hundred percent necessary to have enacted the Bill of Rights. "You must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself," as was written in the Federalist Papers, number 51. This is absolutely critical in the way that if you don't create a boundary, it's as if it don't exist. The Bill of Rights absolutely gave us more power as the people, and also provided ramifications if the bill was not abided by. Thus creating obligation to the people by the government, which in the end, helps it to control it's own means.
