To assume, as Beard so commonly does, that the fear of the misuse of power by majorities was either peculiar to the Federalists or more ardent with them than with their opponents, is mistaken. Indeed it was rather the anti-Federalists who were most deeply disturbed by the prospect of majority rule; they, rather than the Federalists, were the “men of little faith.”


Can someone paraphrase Please thank you.

Answer:

It is wrong to assume that the Federalists were more critical of the possibility of abuses of power by a government that the Anti-Federalists, just as Beard often does. Actually, the Anti-Federalists saw the likelihood of undemocratic majority rule with deeper concern than the Federalists did. If we were going to call someone "men of little faith" with fairness, it would be the Anti-Federalists and not the Federalists.
