Federalist vs. Anti-Federalists

Far too often the differences between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists is over simplified. The discussion typically hinges upon the Federalist being in favor of the Constitution, and the Anti-Federalists being opposed to it. Usually, there is little discussion paid to the complexity of who the individuals were and why they were inclined to think as they did. The argument surrounding our founding as a nation is complex, and I believe there should be light shed on the complexities of the Founders. I'm hoping this set of slides will be a good start to understanding the Federalists and Anti-Federalists.
