The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Anti-Federalist Papers and explain how it supports your position on the ratification of the Constitution.

I am going to choose a quote from Anti-Federalist No. 3, "New Constitution Creates a National Government, Will not Abate Foreign Influence, Dangers of Civil War and Despotism," written by John Francis Mercer. It was published in the Maryland Gazette on March 7, 1788.

This is the quote: "In a national government, unless cautiously and fortunately administered, the disputes will be the deeprooted differences of interest, where part of the empire must be injured by the operation of general law."

That is why antideferalists heavily opposed the creation of a strong central government, as was the intention of Federalists such as Jhon Jay and Alexander Hamilton. I agree with antifederalists like Thomas Jefferson, who believed in a simpler form of government, not despotic, that granted rights to the citizens. These rights were established in the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States, drafted by federalist James Madison.

richard milhous nixon (january 9, 1913 – april 22, 1994) was the 37th president of the united states, serving from 1969 to 1974, when he became the only president to resign (quit). he is also known for corruption and the watergate scandal which resulted in the public losing trust in him and his resignation.

roosevelt believed that in light of the country's recent military successes, it was unnecessary to use force to achieve foreign policy goals, so long as the military could threaten force. this belief, and his strategy of “speaking softly and carrying a big stick,” shaped much of roosevelt's foreign policy.
