Anti-Federalism

Anti-Federalism

Anti-Federalism means a movement of opposed creation of a stronger U. Ersus, federal government and which later compared the ratification in the 1787 Constitution. The previous constitution, called this Articles of Confederation, presented state governments more authority. Led by Patrick Henry of Virginia, Anti-Federalists concerned, among other items, that the situation of president, then a novelty, might evolve into a monarchy.
