Federalist blog

Back in the when the constitution was about to ratified, there were two groups of people.  One group supported the ratification of the constitution.  The other group was against the constitution.  The one that wanted the constitution to be ratified were called the federalists.  The group that didn't want the constitution to be ratified were called the anti-federalist.  The federalist were the better half.  Being a federalist made you believe in more central government.  This government could protect you more as it proved troops from every state to help protect the well-being of the country.  If the states had their own governments to run they wouldn't have as many troops to protect their well-being.  Federalists believe in the constitution and thought it would be the answer to the problems that the United States faced.  With a more central government, people would give up some rights, but would get protection.  Protection was a big thing.  We had just won the war and thought that Great Britain still was a threat and any country that did not help us out with the war.  Protection is what I would have fought for and won.
