On writing thesis: would you have been a federalist or anti federalist? explain your response using specific information about the ratification of the constitution, the bill of rights, the articles of confederation, the size of the nation, and power of the thirteen states.

First of all, lets explain each one carefully. 

An anti Federalist was someone who did not want the Constitution to be written. Basically, they did not want the government to go by what the Constitution preached. This group wanted the Bill of Rights instead. 

On the other handthere was people who were called Federalists. These people were totally with the constitution. They wanted it to be what the government was based onthis didn't go too well. Socialism is something that most people feared back in the day. 

Anywho...lets get to the thesis part. 

I would personally be an Anti Federalist. It is as unexpected as it seems; but I fear Socialism. Socialism is the overthrow of the government, and this could happen when new rules come into place suddenly. After that happens - what's next? What would America's government decide to do? This is exactly what most Anti Federalists feared, so they wanted the Bill of rights to stay in place. The Constitution was reviewed and written carefully, but, could you adjust to something to quick? I think not. Plus, the nation was pretty big, It grew fast. People from all over where migrating to the America's for better safety etc. Whether it was escaping hunger, weather, or even shelter, they came here and the population was always growing. 

The preamble of the constitution was written to explain the aim of the constitution
