I AM GROUP A ( FEDERALISTS)- 250 WORDS POST
You have been divided into two groups. For this forum, Group A (Last name A-M) will assume the role of Federalists who support ratification of U.S. Constitution, while Group B (Last name N-Z) will argue from anti-Federalists who see the U.S. Constitution as going too far and taking power from individuals & states. Each of you should post a statement in support of your position or opposition to the other argument.Try not to make assumptions.Instead, assume the historical role of someone who lived in the United States in 1789 – you can be a real person (statesman, abolitionist, former slave) or a fictitious individual.
After your initial submission, you are then required to continue the debate by responding to two of your classmates.

Bill of Rights (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
. The Federalists felt that this addition wasn’t necessary, because they believed that the Constitution as it stood only limited the government not the people. The Anti- Federalists claimed the Constitution gave the central government too much power, and without a Bill of Rights the people would be at risk of oppression.”
