Answer:
Anti-Federalist party
Explanation:
During the debates for the ratification of the new U.S. Constitution (1787), two political parties emerged: First The Federalist party which was led by Alexander Hamilton and other leaders (mainly bankers, northern businessmen and merchants) that supported the idea of a strong central government and the ratification of the newly proposed Constitution (1787), and secondly, the Anti-Federalist party which was formed to oppose the ratification of the Constitution as well as many other Federalist's ideas.
In overall, the Anti-Federalists, led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and consisting mainly of planters, small farmers, and artisans, leaned to give more power to the states and opposed the establishment of a strong government as well as the ratification of the Constitution arguing that it did not contain a Bill of Rights. They believed that without a Bill of Right that protected people's liberties and put limitations on the government, the latter would eventually abuse from its power.
