Explanation:

Federalists wanted a strong executive branch and government while the anti-federalists wanted a weaker central government.

Anti federalists were loose political coalition of politicians who opposed the strong central government that the US constitution of 1787 created. Their efforts led to the addition of Bill of Rights to the US constitution.

They were afraid of the authority of single, strong national government, as it could easily encroach upon the rights of the individuals and the states. So they wanted a Bill of Rights to be added to the constitution to safeguard the people from the Strong central government.

Anti federalists were strong in New York, Massachusetts and Virginia. James Winthrop of Massachusetts, George Mason and Patrick Henry of Virginia were some of the famous anti federalists.
