Amendments: The first 10 Amendments were written because they relieved the fear of the Anti-Federalist, which they thought the rights of people would be abused if the government had too much power.

Federalist vs. Anti federalist: Federalist where people in urban areas who wanted the Bill of Rights included in the constitution, in fact they proposed it. Anti federalist where farmers who opposed the bill of rights because they wanted states to keep power.

Anti federalist wanted states to figure it out on their own, Federalist thought it was necessary to come together to try and solve the debt problem
