The last two days in class we have learned about the Bill of rights and we have also learned about the federlists and the Democratic-Republican parties. Yesterday we read  a story and than we read it as a class and in groups we determined what amendment would protect their right to do what they did. Today in class we talked about the federlists and the Democratic-Republican party. We learned that the federlist party wanted a strong centrol government and they were rule for elite people, Weathly people, merchants and others with jobs like that. The Democratic-Republican party also felt that there should be a strong national government but they favored the states' right because they were the government closest to the people. They also felt that if its not in the constitution than congress may not do it. Most of the people they were for were farmers and such.
