Analyze the major concerns generated by the drafting and ratification of the United States Constitution. (1786-1792)The Constitution had to be ratified by the states before coming into full force; However, the states had different ideas and hopes for their new government, so a national debate arose about ratifying the Constitution. In general there were two major parties that had opposing ideas; the Federalists supported the Constitution and the Anti-Federalists did not support this fairly new document. Furthermore, the Constitution required 9 out of 13 states to sign it before it became official, but in order for the Articles of Confederation to be amended there had to be a unified consensus within the nation. The greatest fears produced by the drafting and ratification of the United States Constitution arose from the difference between the classes; for example, the "common man" had different views and opinions than the "elite man". Following the need for the states to approve the Constitution, both Federalists and Anti-Federalists began producing documents that supported their point of view in detail. The Anti-Federalists, who were small farmers, workers, and other middle-class men, were inclined to believe in a strong state government and a weak national government; furthermore, they called for a Bill of Rights to strengthen individual freedoms. For example, Jefferson Writings wrote to James Madison in 1787, "...a bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse," which meant explaining that a Bill of Rights would protect people's liberties and prevent government corruption that the Federalists envisioned, (Document... center of paper... announced that ratification would not be achieved. For example, John Jay wrote a letter to George Washington in 1786 explaining how at least during the American Revolution all the people were united for the same goal, but now their goal is unclear and chaotic, (Document D). but if it lacks this essential principle of full and fair representation of the people, it will only be a painted tomb", in the sense that without a solid list of rights to protect people and balance within the branches of government everything will collapse, (Document F). The main doubts created by the drafting and ratification of the United States Constitution stem from the conflict between Federalists and Anti-Federalists, who had different views on how government should be run.
