John, the Constitution needs be ratified as soon as possible! We need to start from scratch. There needs to be a strong central government!
You don't understand, John! Creating a strong government is necessary to protect liberty! It will solve the problems that we experienced under the Articles of Confederation! The states must give up some power for the good of the nation, its not all about them.

I strongly disagree with you Alexander! The Constitution is a threat to liberty! It would give the central government too much power, leaving little power to the states. We also need to protect the people and their individual rights!

We anti-federalists are simply am afraid that a strong government will lead to an abuse of power, like we had under the British. While I don't agree with you, I think I have an idea to help us reach a consensus. If we can implement a Bill of Rights to help protect personal freedoms.
We federalists do not want that either. In fact, we are doing our best to prevent it. We simply have different tactics to do so. However, I think we can somehow incorporate a Bill of Rights to help protect the people.
A consensus was eventually reached and the Constitution was ratified, along with a Bill of Rights.
