Did anti federalists or federalists believe a shared government would result in tyranny

Federalists believed in a lean, strong national government. Those who supported the government were in control of the government led by Hamilton. People who were best suited would be those with educational experience, independence, and upper class status. They believed that the strong central government should preside in Washington D.C. and have authority over the states. Commerce, industry, business, manufacturing, banking, and an urban based capitalist economy were ways toward national global status. They felt that a national debt was a helpful thing. The Federalists came up with the trickle down idea that if the government promotes, supports, and protects big business, then wealth and prosperity will trickle down to the nation.

where are the answer choices

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.

can't do the whole thing, hope this
