Explanation:

1. Anti - Federalists generally wanted states to have more power, opposed the original Constitution without a Bill of Rights, and were more satisfied with the Articles of Confederation. Federalists favored a strong national government, immediate ratification of the original Constitution, and did not think a Bill of Rights was necessary.
2. Rule of Law means nobody is above the law. Popular Sovereignty is that government power comes from the people. Checks and Balances is an accountability system to prevent branches from becoming too powerful. Limited Government means the government only has powers as granted by the Constitution. Federalism is a system where power is shared between federal and state governments. Due Process refers to the legal procedures for fair treatment under the law. Separation of Powers means there are three branches of government with their own authority. Bicameral refers to a two - house legislature. Consent of the Governed is related to the social contract idea. Republicanism is about the leader being chosen by citizens in an election.
