They believed that each state should have a self governed, and independent. Anti-Federalists also argued that there was no bill of rights, and the Congress and executive branch held too much power. But mostly the lack of a bill of rights was the focus of the Anti-Federalist against ratifying the Constitution.

Alexander Hamilton thought that the judiciary review was the important factor of the checks and balance system and necessary citadel for protecting the public justice. He thinks the general liberty is the most important thing when considering the constitutional framework. Hamilton disagrees with the legislative branch exceeding its power as despotism but accepts the power of jurisdiction as a way to protect people, which is the more important. However, for Chief Justice Marshall, the judicial review was not a way to protect the people. It was a tool for political movements and to gain authority of the judicial branch.
The principal itself that the United Nation, the one and only organization that protects human rights and stands against threats to rights of all people, refused the invasion of Iraq should give enough reasons to not support the placement of war. An invasion is not a conflict where two countries fight one another for the foal of obtaining a right for defense or threats. An invasion, such as this one, is when one country tries to take control of another for the simple fact of intruding and taking power. This is achieved with violence; therefore Bush’s reason for suspecting, with no evidence, Saddam to have connections with aiding terrorism didn’t have to lead to an invasion. The core problem was Saddam, not Iraq and its people.
The states cannot pass bills of attainers, enter into any treaties, and enacting ex post facto laws and laws impairing the obligated contract (Hornberger, 2005). This is why our system has lasted so long laws can be enacted within states as long as they do not cut the governments
In the end he says that in order to have a balanced government the majority must agree on justice.

Mankind needs laws and obligations to live by, not only to keep peace but to protect ourselves from our basic nature. Hamilton views the role of government as changeable and believed it would work better as a strong centralized government. As long man has faith in changing a government, man will abide by it. He states," not conform to the dictates of reason
In the United States of America, the people are protected by a group of laws called the Constitution. The very first of these laws is “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” (US Constitution) This decree states that for no reason may the government restrict the right of free speech to the people. Free speech is sort of like your opinion on matters.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution provides individuals with important personal freedoms. The First Amendment says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Each individual is a human being and in that deserves to be protected under the Constitution. The Government is the only entity that can change what is happening in our prisons today.
