What educators are saying

Great, no prep resource that has helped me in my first year teaching eighth grade social studies. Thanks a lot for your help.
Easy to use after learning the basics about Federalists and Antifederalists. The students were engaged and this deepened their understanding.

Description

In this Federalists v Anti-Federalists and Constitution primary source activity, students examine 8 total primary source excerpts to understand the Federalist and Anti-Federalist views on the failures of the Articles of Confederation and the new Constitution. Students examine four major questions surrounding the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Rights of the States, and the View of the People by investigating a response to each question from both a Federalist and an Anti-Federalist.
