How did economic conditions in the years after the Revolution lead to calls for fundamental political change?
The economic conditions after the Revolution called for many fundamental political changes. The new nation had many obstacles to overcome, the first hurdle was protecting the rights of individuals and also protecting the freedoms fought vigorously for. Another change after the Revolutionary War, was the founding of the separate party system.

Although the picture is still continuing to change, the idea that All of those for and All of those against is still the basic foundation. The Federalists were the supporters of a strong, federal government, where the government had the power.

One of the Anti-federalist biggest achievements were the first ten amendments of the Constitution, otherwise known as The Bill of Rights. Crazy to find out the separate parties started out as one. “Originally a coalition of like-minded men, the party became publicly well defined only in 1795” (“Federalist Party - Facts & Summary - HISTORY. com”
