1 Should we ratify the new constitution? The Task You will "become" one of these famous men, research their arguments, and stage a debate in front of your state's legislature (the class). The class will then vote whether or not to ratify the new Constitution, based upon the success of your debate. As you research, use the following questions to guide you through the information: Why would he be considered a Federalist or an Antifederalist? What in his background would lead you to believe he would take the stand he did? What were his main arguments? (Choose one or two you can argue best in for the debate) How did he rebut his opponent s argument? Did he concede any arguments to his opponents? What made his speeches so persuasive? Technique or content or? What was he like as a speaker? (e.g., bold & strong, or quiet & soft spoken?) Write a 4 minute prepared speech giving you man s best arguments in a most persuasive manner. Remember to start your speech with an attention grabbing statement. Organize is so you conclusion restates the most important points of your argument. These men all felt very strongly about their positions, so a little emotion may be in order! Create a costume and any props you feel will make your presentation more effective. Look at the portraits (listed in resources) for ideas. A blazer jacket (perhaps a velvet one) over a ruffled tux shirt or blouse (especially with ruffled cuffs) coupled with a pair of long knee socks and knickers (easily created with sweat pants pulled up and bloused over a pair of baseball socks pulled up to the knees) are fairly easy to obtain. Be creative! Stage a debate- each of you will have time to do your four minute prepared presentation alternating between Federalists and Antifederalists, and then as a group, each of you will have five minutes to discuss your rebuttal, and one minute to present your rebuttal of points and restatement of you own position. Each group as a whole Federalist and Antifederalist will have two chances to rebuttal each lasting one minute. Your teacher will be the time keeper, and you will need to adhere to the time limitations. You must become very familiar with the important historical figure you have chosen to "become" in these debates. As you read his biographical information, his speeches, and what he wrote of important, highlight those areas you feel are most pertinent to use with your notes. Be sure to stay aware of your opponents' points of view, trying to figure out what arguments they use against you in the debate, so you can be prepared to answer them in rebuttal.

Federalist #83 Martin argues that the Supreme Court will effectively do away with the right to a trial by jury.
4 Luther Martin Antifederalist Biography of Luther Martin Richard Henry Lee Biography of Richard Henry Lee Biography of Lee Statue of Lee Anti-Federalist #36 Lee argues against the power to tax and how representation was to be determined.

5 Anti-Federalist #4 Collected by David Sampson Anti-Federalist #34 Given to the Virginia legislature.
6 Conclusion Many of the ideas in the Federalist/Antifederalist Debates seem to some quite relevant today. Some people distill the differences down to a question of the benefits of a strong central government versus states' rights or the rights of states to make their own decisions. Others would say it is a question of more government controls versus an individual's personal right to make his or her own decisions as to what is best for him or her. How do you feel? After doing this study, would you classify yourself as a Federalist or an Antifederalist and why? Is one "good" and one "bad"? Are they relevant classifications for today? Why or why not?
