7) The federalists wanted the power to be concentrated in the hands of the central or the federal
government as they felt more power to states would be counterproductive. They felt that a strong center
would be helpful in maintaining peace and order in the country. They also felt that the center should have
the power to make uniform rules and regulations for the whole of the country. Federalists felt that giving
power to states to make distinct rules and regulations would lead to chaos as each state would have rules
and regulations as they wanted. However, it was not that federalists wanted states to be powerless as they
visualized powers to be retained with the states in areas where all powers were not vested with the federal
government.
Anti-federalists were in favor of small states as they felt the presence of communities with divergent
views would make passing resolutions difficult, and small republic would make it easier to arrive at a
consensus, to achieve the common good of the people.
- Article IV, Section 1 of the United States Constitution, known as the "Full Faith and Credit Clause",
