While making the constitution and while developing the constitution, Federalists and Anti- Federalists had a lot of thoughts and ideas in mind. The Federalists were in favor of the constitution, and the Anti- Federalists refused and didn't like a lot of things in the constitution and thought that it can be changed and improved. Although the inventors of the constitution thought that it was the most excellent constitution, which was sent like a blessing from heaven. The Anti- Federalists were not merely against the constitution. Rather, they had strong beliefs and principles that enhanced the development of the constitution. .
One of the great innovations of American Political thought was dividing the political power between central government and its component parts while preserving both elements. In the nineteenth century a rule was created which stated that the ultimate political power could not be divided. The Anti- Federalists clung that or refused it, they thought that it wasn't the wisest thing to be done. The Anti- Federalists had a lot of comments on some of the things in the constitution and that included the articles, they thought that the articles needed modification, but they resisted attempt to strengthen the national government too much, they feared that it would become a threat to the sovereignty states. So, the Anti- Federalists have a lot of suggestions and ideas but there will, most of the time, be something that will be facing them.
The Anti- Federalists viewed the constitution as the betrayal of the American Revolution. They saw themselves as the true defenders of the principles of the American Revolution. They argued that the articles of confederation were the constitutional embodiment of the principles on which the revolution was based. Because of that the inventors of the constitution thought of changing it. .
They stood for federalism in opposition to what they called consolidating tendency and intention of the constitution, or the tendency to establish one complete national government.
