How did the Federalists and Anti-Federalists resolve their differences? (Review Unit 1, Lesson 8, slide 5 OR the Teacher Led Nearpod on Lesson Intro Page)

Answer 1

The Federalists and Anti-Federalists resolved their differences through a series of compromises and negotiations. The most significant compromise was the creation of the Bill of Rights. The Anti-Federalists were concerned about the potential for an overly powerful federal government and the lack of individual rights in the proposed Constitution. In response, the Federalists agreed to add a Bill of Rights to the Constitution, which would protect certain individual freedoms and limit the power of the government. This compromise helped to alleviate the concerns of the Anti-Federalists and gain their support for the ratification of the Constitution.
