The Federalists and Anti-Federalists clearly believe in two opposing ideologies and platforms. The Federalists who are also termed as nationalists played a vital role in the formation and shaping of the 1787 US constitution which solidified the national government at that time. The Anti-Federalists on the other hand, is against the ratification of the US constitution but failed to successfully penetrate the thirteen states that caused them to individually fight the ratification in every state convention. However, they had successfully forced the first Congress to create a bill of rights under the new Constitution in order to make sure the freedom and rights that the Anti-Federalists felt that the Constitution had violated.
