1.) Federal vs state power:

-Federalists believed in a strong federal government.

-Anti-Federalists, also known as Democratic Republicans, supported a stronger state government.

2.) Taxation:

-Federalists Believed that the government should be able to tax American citizens directly.

-Anti Federalists did not believe the Constitution gave the authority to tax citizens of America.

3.) Changing of the Constitution:

-Federalists had a broad, loose interpretation of the Constitution, which meant that if there was a change needed, there would be little opposition.

-Anti Federalists had a stricter, more narrow perception. They only wanted the most essential changes to be accepted. They also believed that the Constitution gave too much control to central government.
