Anti-federalists were flimflam men, mediocrities whose power came from state politics comparable to the Chicago Ward Healers of today. Their opposition to the constitution came from their understanding that it would reduce their relative power. Their rhetoric about “liberty” was only that being the forefathers of the democrat party it was just another fraud it has run upon.
Federalists were overwhelmingly those who fought during the Revolution or had a role developing a modern capitalist economy. Their war experience reinforced the understanding that a stronger Union was critical for TRUE liberty. Antis cynically used the Bill of Rights argument as an attempt to derail ratification. It was also a fraud. There were no Bill of Rights in any of the states controlled by Antis or even demands for one. But their demand was accepted cutting the legs out from under the Anti’s argument.
Ridiculous.
The Anti-Federalists were a majority in society and constituted together the Liberty lobby of their day. It was they, as I said above, who wisely insisted on a Bill of Rights, in order to "get it in writing". Unlike the merchant-oriented, profit-motivated Federalists who represented the business and shipping interests, they more than any other group represented the pure patriots of the country who put principles first. They included Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Patrick Henry, Col. George Mason, Gov. Clinton of New York, and the greatest Anti-Federalist of them all, Thomas Jefferson.
Your insult parades itself like a naked exhibitionist with terminally baggy skin. It would be offensive if it weren't such a joke.
