After our discussion in class the federalist and anti-federalist papers really made more sence. All of my questions were answered and I found out some interesting information. Also I learned a little background information about what was going on at this time.
From reading and disscussing these papers you can tell that the Anti-federalist put a lot more detail into their paper compared to the federalist. The federalist papers were straight to the point and easier to read. In my opinion the anti-federalist paper supported their claims a lot better. I think the audience that each paper is trying to reach has a lot to do with why the federalist were straight to the point and the anti federalist explained everything.
Also I just wanna point out, my favorite quote from this reading is "If men were angels, no government would be needed". When I read this it just stood out. Their is a lot of truth to this statement and it is a very powerful line in these papers.
