What he Antifederalists wanted after the Constitution was written in 1787 was that "the Constitution to do more to protect individual freedoms and limit the power of the national government."

The federalist -led by Alexander Hamilton- favored a strong central government to be the solid structure of the United States, but the anti-federalists -led by Thomas Jefferson- thought that a strong central government had the risk to turn into tyranny, like the English monarchy.
