Federalists and antifederalists always argued about the best type of government for the new nation. The federalist truly believed that a strong central government was the kind of government necessary for the new-born nation. Indeed, they wrote the famous Federalists Papers under the pseudonym of Publis. The original authors were James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay. The opposite vision belonged to the antifederalists, led by Thomas Jefferson, who also wrote the antifederalists papers under different pseudonyms such as Brutus or Cato.
