How (or in what ways) does the Constitution reflect a compromise between the Federalists and the
AntiFederalists? (i.e., How does the Constitution reflect the willingness of the Federalists to address the

Anti-Federalists?
What were the concerns of the Federalist? What plans were involved in this compromise? Which part of
the Constitution reflects the interests of the Federalists/Anti-Federalists? (Be Specific–you should list at
least 4 examples here; maybe more!). How does it differ from the Articles of Confederation? What are the
core principles of the Constitution?
How has the nature of federalism influenced by the early debate between these two groups?
Why has the Constitution endured for over 200 years? (Please use the lecture notes in Canvas). Do you
think the Constitution needs to be amended? Why or why not? (Cite an example and find a current event
from 2020 to support your answer –either way, you should support your argument with the current event).
