Montana Difford
Federalist v. Anti-federalist Cartoons
Option 1: Create three separate cartoons with three scenes
depicting the Federalists and Anti-federalist arguing over
diﬀerent principles being applied to the new constitution. Use
the cartoon below as a guide for how your cartoon should look.

• Cartoon #1 - Separation of
Powers.
• Cartoon #2 - Necessary &
Proper Clause or Supremacy
Clause.
• Cartoon #3 - Federalism
• Each cartoon should depict
accurate viewpoints and
arguments from both the
Federalist and Anti-federalist.
• Turn this assignment back
into iTunes U when it is
completed.
Option 2: Create an animated cartoon
using the same directions from above. If
your up for something a little more creative
you can download the Puppet Pals 2 app
from Self-Service and create an animated
cartoon. If you choose this option, you will
only have to complete TWO cartoons
instead of THREE. Your free to choose
which topic you want for your cartoons,
and you may work with a partner.
Cartoon #1 - Separation of Powers
For this government, I say we should divide the

government's powers into three separate
branches- a legislative, an executive, and a

judicial . It’ll help to keep the government from
becoming overbearing as well as creating a

checks and balance so that we can be sure that
the government stays in balance with each

branch working together so that the government
stays working.
That’s absurd! We only need one

branch! Legislative. If we
separated the branches and
created an executive branch with a
president in charge, then it’ll soon
become a monarchy and it’ll be

Great Britain's tyranny all over!
Hmm. I think the federalist are onto something here. The separation of
powers would help to make this government stronger. And if it creates

a checks and balance system then it’s not likely that the government
will become a second Great Britain's tyranny. The branches will keep
the others in check so that no branch will become more powerful than
the other two and if we define the powers for the branches carefully to
make sure that the branches work together to build our government
and keep it a country for the people.
Cartoon #2 - Necessary & Proper Clause or Supremacy Cause
The necessary and proper clause is a

must. It’ll allow for our government
to adjust for whatever the future
may bring, which can prevent the

need to have to rewrite the
government again for the future
generations.
If we give the government this clause,
then it’ll just become corrupt and make

whatever laws it feels that are
‘necessary’ and ‘proper’. The states are
going to lose power, and the peoples’

rights are going to be violated!

Not necessarily. From what I understand
the “Necessary and Proper clause” only
allows the Congress to make laws and

perform powers related to the ones we
list in the Constitution, so the peoples’
freedoms and rights should be safe from

such abuse. I say we use it.
Cartoon #3 - Federalism
We need a strong central

government! This will allow for a
better protection of our people and
country! And the powers will be
shared equally so that the national
government can actually perform
their duties!
Absolutely not! We must have a weaker

central government, or else we risk the
abuse of our people’s freedoms and rights. We
cannot have a stronger central government,
what about our states' powers?! The
freedoms and rights of the people should be
our first priority and with a stronger central
government, all that we’ve worked for are at
risk if we go through with this! You all saw
what happened with Great Britain!
Well, while you make a valid point with the fact

that we must think of our people, you miss the
point that the power will still be divided between
the state and national governments. States will
still hold power, it’s just that the central
government will be stronger this time then it was
last time, allowing for it to effectively run our
country.
