Federalists supported the idea of having a strong central government. On the other hand, antifederalists did not support that idea because they thought that a strong federal government could have the risks to turn into a tyranny, as was the case of the English monarchy. That is why the antifederalists, led by Thomas Jefferson, demanded to include a Bill of Rights to protect the liberties of the people. In the beginning, federalists did not consider it to be necessary but to reach an agreement it was James Madison who drafted the Bill of Rights, under the influence of the Virginia Declaration of Rights.
