Question

What kind of government did the states want? What kind of government did they not

want? (Revolutionary war)

Answer 1

During the Revolutionary War, the states wanted a government that was decentralized and had limited powers, in order to protect the rights and freedoms of the people. They did not want a government that was centralized and had too much power, as they had experienced under British rule. The states wanted a government that would be responsive to the needs and concerns of the people, and that would be accountable to them. They did not want a government that was dictatorial or tyrannical, as they had experienced under British rule. The states also wanted a government that would be able to provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare, but they did not want a government that would interfere excessively in the lives and affairs of the people.

Answer 2

Bill of rights

Step-by-step explanation:

The Federalists wanted a strong government and strong executive branch, while the anti-Federalists wanted a weaker central government. The Federalists did not want a bill of rights —they thought the new constitution was sufficient. The anti-federalists demanded a bill of rights.
