What is the difference in the vision of the US between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists?

After the Articles of Confederation were written, there were problems with it. Confederationists thought that the Articles were a fine way to run the country, but the nationalists did not. They favored a stronger national government than the one the Articles provided. Later, the founding fathers wrote the constitution, but there were some problems getting it ratified, or passed. This is where federalists and anti-federalists came into play. Anti-federalists were against the constitution, and in case you haven't already guessed, most ant-federalists were confederationists to start off. Federalists were all for the ratification of the constitution of the United States.


Why didn't Nova Scotia want Canadian Confederation?

Nova Scotia didn't want to join Confederation because... 1. Nova Scotia was already a fine self governing colony; which was at the time trying to get the Queen to allow them to leave the Canadian Confederation and join with the United States. 2. They knew that with the small population that they wouldn't have enough power in Canada. (The only provinces that really pass bills in Canada are Quebec and Ontario).
