The territory of the United States is of vast extent; it now contains near three millions of souls, and is capable of containing much more than ten times that number.

A. In one paragraph, describe what the Anti-Federalists would think about the size of federal government and the U. S. population today.

B. In a second paragraph, describe how court cases and public policy since the ratification of the Constitution have addressed the issues and arguments presented by the Anti-Federalists.
