Explanation:

Federalism was advocated by the supporters of a cosmopolitan view of the new State, with the firm belief that it would ease the governance, and it was strengthened after Shay's Rebellion. Anti-Federalism always opposed this view of a strong central government, and were instrumental in signing the Bill of Rights as a counterweight againts this strong government, although they could not prevent the passing of the 1787 Constitution.
