Bill Of Rights Vs Anti-Federal Government

In the midst of the eighteenth century, America was beginning to establish an identity for itself and a form of self government that would govern its own government and citizens alike in a systematic way. A system in which united the states of America into a unified state. For America was going through economic turmoil and power struggle after gaining independence from Great Britain after the American revolution. American citizens feared that if the government was given too much power, their own rights and liberty would be infringed upon. To solve this issue, Virginian George Mason met with states delegates on September 12, 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. To proposed that the bill of rights should be added to the recently created Constitution,
One were deemed as Federalist, who sought that broad power and authority should reside in the federal government. While the Anti-Federalist, sought that power should reise in state governments, where it could best protect people’s liberties.

As well as unifying the last two remaining states, Rhode Island and North Carolina, who were initially opposed to any form of the Constitution. This made it so that every state would be agreeably accepting of a new federal government run by Federalists.
Another reason that motivated Federalist to pass the Bill of Rights was that it would surely crush the opposition of Anti-Federalist leaders and followers. For after some provision were made by the Bill of Rights, the fear that a new federal government having tyrannical power was quickly relieved, for it ensured basic rights of all citizens in the United States. This made the support of the Anti-Federalist movement diminished drastically, and as a safety net so that the few powerful Anti-Federalist would not be able to weaken the new federal
