How did the arguments of the Federalists and Anti-Federalists reflect their points of view regarding natural rights republicanism and constitutionalism?
The federalist are those who favored a stronger national government due to their fear caused by the weak Articles of Confederation. Therefore, they were more loose constructionist meaning that they took the words of the constitution loosely so that the federal government has more opportunity. The anti-federalist were strong believers in natural rights and the rights of the states to determine what they wanted because each state was extremely different. Anti-federalist still had a bad taste in their mouth from the American Revolution and feared that a strong federal government would turn into a monarchy. Therefore, the anti-federalist pushed for the Bill of Rights which helped the people keep some of their power. Americans had recently fought a war to secure their fundamental rights. The anti-federalist did not want a constitution that put those rights in jeopardy. They also were strict constructionist meaning that they interpreted the constitution word by word. The anti-federalist refused to sign the constitution until there was a promise of the bill of rights. Many Founding Fathers were influenced by Locke, his natural rights philosophy of inalienable rights: life, liberty, property regardless of wealth, social status or birth. If government failed to protect those rights the people had the rights to rebel and replace it.
That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed?
That we ALLOW the government to function in protection of OUR GOD-GIVEN rights. Their just powers are to protect us from invasion (which they are not doing along our southern border) and to ensure our Life, Liberty,and the Pursuit of Happiness. When Nanny Pelosi came out with her big gavel in regards to ObummerKare, that was a slap in the face of this phrase. The only thing that we allow them to do is what WE ourselves have the right to do and that is, the protection of our rights under the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. No more, no less. That is why Americans are angry over ObummerKare, Cap and Tax, Obama's rule by Czar and executive orders, etc. It means we the people are ultimately responsible for our government and they can only do what we allow them get away with. But the politician effectively divide the electorate using lies/propaganda for their own selfish interest and to maintain the "Two Party System." Most people are ignorant, apathetic and selfish they may or may not vote. Like it or not this is the people's government.
