Answer:

One of the many points of discussion between Federalists, who supported a powerful federal government, and Anti-Federalists, who desired the power to continue with state and local governments. It was the Constitution’s lack of a bill of rights that would set precise limits on management leadership.

Federalists debated that the Constitution did not require a bill of rights because the people and the states retained any powers not assigned to the federal administration. Anti-Federalists believed that a bill of rights was essential to safeguard personal freedom.
