Early Republic 10th 04 22.edited

Early republic involves a great analysis of the first twenty-five years of political history in the American republic. During this period, America conducted its first’s federal election and experienced the war of 1812. It is a great period that shaped the terms of American politics in a great manner as the United States established the bipolar party structure (Sillin, 2021). Such establishments have dominated the American political landscape since then, shaping the powers of the national government through classical understandings. However, federalists and anti-federalists differed greatly on their opinions towards the governing Constitution. The debate between the two parties revolved around the ratification of the Constitution, where Federalists argued for ratification while anti-federalists argued against ratification (Pidluzny and Bessette, 2019). The inclusion of the Bill of Rights proved a controversial issue that the two groups debated raising great disputes attributed to their differing opinions. Federalists argued that the governing Constitution was logical and thus advocated for a strong national government which the Constitution supported. On the other hand, anti-federalists feared the excessive powers of the national government, arguing such powers as a threat to the state governments and the American citizens in general, thus the need for a Bill of Rights to ensure equality for all.
