Answer:

Anti-Federalist believed that the national government would tax people unfairly while Federalists believed that the national government should levy taxes to run adequately.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Federalists in their support of the national government to levy taxes, led by Alexander Hamilton, suggested that any national government, appropriately constituted, needs to have the authority to earn its own income by the techniques of taxation which are utilized in advanced society.

Anti-Federalists, however, countered that, given that the national government is empowered to make all laws, and are considered to be ultimate law of the land, this will give the national government the opportunity to abuse the power. It could eliminate local governments and restrict liberties.
