The statement that best summarizes the point of view the excerpt expresses is "Under one unified government, people will be robbed of their freedoms."

There were many debates and arguments between the Federalist's ideas to form a government under a strong central government and the opposite ideas of the antifederalists that did not like the idea of a strong federal government. People like Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison were federalists and supported the approval of the Constitution with the publication of the Federalists Papers under the synonym of "Plubius." Antifederalists such as Thomas Jefferson did something similar with the publication of the Antifederalist Papers, where they stated that a strong central government could turn into an oppressive form of government that could eliminate civil liberties and turned into a tyranny.
