What viewpoints did the Anti-Federalists have about the Constitution/our government?(Review Unit 1, Lesson 8, slide 5 OR the Teacher Led Nearpod on Lesson Intro Page) Answer in 3-4 complete sentences.
The Anti-Federalists had concerns about a strong central government and believed that the Constitution gave too much power to the federal government at the expense of the states. They argued that the Constitution lacked a clear protection of individual rights and liberties, which they believed could lead to government abuse.

How did the Federalists and Anti-Federalists resolve their differences? (Review Unit 1, Lesson 8, slide 5 OR the Teacher Led Nearpod on Lesson Intro Page)
The differences between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists were eventually resolved through a series of compromises and negotiations. To address the Anti-Federalists' concerns about the lack of protection for individual rights, the Federalists agreed to add a Bill of Rights to the Constitution. This addition guaranteed the protection of certain individual liberties and helped appease the Anti-Federalists. Additionally, the Federalists agreed to limit the powers of the federal government and give more authority to the states through the inclusion of the Tenth Amendment. These compromises helped to alleviate the concerns of the Anti-Federalists and ultimately led to the ratification of the Constitution.
