Sample Released HS Social Studies CR Item• In the compound republic of America, the power
surrendered by the people is first divided between two distinct governments, and the portion allotted to each subdivided among distinct and separate departments. Hence a double security arises to the rights of the people. The different governments will each control each other, at the same time that each will be controlled by itself.
James Madison, Federalist Paper #51• The Constitution is not an instrument for the
government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government—lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.
Patrick Henry, Anti-Federalist
Use the excerpts to outline the Federalist and AntiFederalist perspectives on the Constitution. Describe
two compromises that resulted from this conflict.
