Answer:

Federalists; Antifederalists

Explanation:

The New Constitution faced a problem regarding its ratification. Many were divided, primarily into "Federalists" and "Antifederalists." Federalists wanted a strong government, thus they supported the New Constitution. On the contrary, the Antifederalists supported a system that was decentralized thus, they were against the ratification.

The Federalists involved the property owners, creditors and merchants while the Antifederalists involved the small farmers, frontiersmen, debtors and shopkeepers.

The Federalists wanted the rich or elite people to take control of the society. They also wanted lesser democracy while the Antifederalists thought that the elite's power was dangerous.

Thus, this explains the answers.
