Ryder Leon · Answer 1

False.

Explanation:

The Anti-Federalists were afraid of a too powerful central government and refused to endorse the 1787 Constitution. They preferred a looser confederation like the one created by the Articles of Confederation. On the other side, the Federalists proposed and believed in a strong federal government. James Madison was a Federalist and one of the authors of the Federalist Papers.
