Anti-Federalist Federalist

Answer 1

I don’t see the list of phrases to sort. Please paste the phrases (or upload a screenshot) and I’ll put each under Anti‑Federalist or Federalist for you.

Meanwhile, here are quick clues you can use so you can sort them yourself:

- Anti‑Federalist (typical beliefs)
- Opposed a powerful central government; preferred strong state governments
- Worried a large national government would become tyrannical
- Wanted a Bill of Rights to protect individual liberties
- Thought a large republic couldn’t adequately represent people
- Trusted local, familiar leaders more than distant national leaders

- Federalist (typical beliefs)
- Favored a stronger national government to preserve order and unity
- Argued separation of powers and checks and balances prevent tyranny
- Believed the Constitution alone protected liberties (and a large republic helps control factions)
- Emphasized need for a stable central authority for commerce, defense, credit
- Trusted a more energetic, capable national leadership

If you paste the actual phrases, I’ll assign each to the correct column.
