When the delegates were forming constitution, there were many disagreements about the power and work allocated to government.
The federalist basically planned the constitution which was formation of strong federal government by dividing equal powers among the states and the federal government. The anti-federalist showed dis-concern and were revolving this plan. They worked for its rectification by putting some limits to the decided federal powers.
This was the reason why Bill of Rights was formed to protect anti federalist basic rights. The Bill of Rights protected right to the freedom of petition, assembly and speech.
