Why should we support a constitution that doesn't protect every person? What about the slaves? Why are we expected to just wait for the next leader to make a change? How long can we wait for a better life?

If we ratify the retched constitution, we will not be free. We will lose everything we fought for. Stand with me and keep our states free.

As a poor farmer, I beg that we do NOT ratify the constitution. I don't want to lose more than I already have. Have a blessed day!

How will people actually be able to vote for the person that will run our country if their is an electoral college in place? With an electoral college, the people's vote no longer matters. The presidential candidates try to win the states with the most EC votes rather than argue for the true interest of the people. Also, the EC takes away the power of the peoples' vote. In the 2016 election, Clinton actually won the popular vote, but failed to win the EC vote. So, while, the majority of the population voted for Clinton, Trump won the election with the EC votes. The people will not truly be able to vote for who gets elected.

Having a standing army will allow for the tyrannical government to bully the general public. The standing army can easily be used against us, just as Britain used theirs. A standing army can be used in the context of fear tactics. We fought once against a tyrannical government, and we will do it again.

While there may be many checks in place before the military can be enacted, the constitution also allows for many loop holes that allows the branches to work the system. For example, the president can enact the military without congressional approval for at least 90 days with a 48 hour notice. The constitution allows for too many ways to work around the system. If you want a "strong" system in place, do not rely on the Constitution, it will only let the people in power become manipulative.

When you say Anti-fedralists drool, what do you mean? Are you trying to insult us? As Brutus 1 argues, us Antifeds do not wish to be ruled by a republic that will take our own power. The federalists just seem to want to live in a nation where they are controlled by a government of elites that have their own money-making agenda.

I understand what you are saying, but with gridlock, how will the people have a voice? It will be much more difficult to pass laws that actually benefit the people. Gridlock will not allow the government to pass laws that will be beneficial to the needs of real citizens in smaller states.

While anyone can vote and anyone can run to represent, a large republic will lead to gridlock. Majorities cannot form and there will be too many opposing opinions, which will cause the gridlock.

Brutus 1 states, "... if it tends to establish a despotism, or, what is worse, a tyrannical aristocracy..." Essentially he is saying that, with a large government, the few rich will rule over the many farmers and not share the same ideals, as they are not experiencing the debt and hardship that they are in a small state.
