Students at Brownstown Middle School have been studying the creation of the U.S. Constitution. Some have been preparing as Federalists, who support its ratification, while others have been honing their arguments as Anti-Federalists, who believe the Constitution grants too much power to the federal government. Last week, each class engaged in a passionate debate on whether to ratify the Constitution, with one Federalist and one Anti-Federalist being crowned debate champions.
