Write 3-5 sentences long. The Federalists and the Anti-Federalists fiercely debated over how much power the national government should have. Many argued that the national government cannot truly understand the needs of the people in the way that a local government can. Others argue that state and local governments do not have the means (money, man power, etc.) of providing all of the services that citizens need. How do you believe power should be allocated between national government and state/local government?
