Anti-Federalist belief in the importance of state sovereignty. john adams response to that challenge was?

For both the Anti-Federalists and John Adams, the Senate was created not as a compromise between large and small states but as a mechanism for maintaining a balance between the two great orders of society, the "natural aristocracy" (the few) and the people (the many). Both regarded identifying and controlling the natural aristocracy as one of the principle tasks of republican constitutionalism, and believed this would be accomplished best by dividing the legislature into an aristocratic and a popular house so the latter could check the former. Their reasoning provides a counterpoint to the Madisonian emphasis on checks and balances among the three branches of government and reveals a deeper appreciation of how the Founders sought to preserve a republican form of government.
