During the time of the Constitution, the Antifederalists were a group of individuals who opposed the ratification of the Constitution. They believed that it gave too much power to the federal government while weakening the authority of the state governments. One prominent Antifederalist was Patrick Henry, a powerful orator and politician who is known for his famous quote, "Give me liberty, or give me death!"
As for the powers kept by both the state and federal governments, these are referred to as concurrent powers. These powers are shared by both levels of government, allowing them to exercise authority in specific areas. Some examples of concurrent powers include the power to tax, enforce laws, and establish courts. These powers are granted by the Constitution, ensuring a balance of power between the state and federal governments.
