On the subject of representation, Antifederalists wanted representative bodies that resembled those represented to the highest degree.

During the Constitutional Convention of 1787, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, two factions debated and argued about the best form of government for the United States and the issue of representation of citizens. Federalists led by James Madison and Alexander Hamilton favored a strong central government. Antifederalists like Thomas Jefferson did not support a strong federal government because they thought it could turn into tyranny, as was the case of the British monarchy. Finally, they could move on when James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights, which is the first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution.
