Was George Washington a federalist or an anti-fed?

Answer 1

Thomas Jefferson was an anti-federalist. He was a democratic republican therefore he couldn't be a federalist.

Answer 2

Benjamin Franklin was a patriot. However, prior to the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, he considered himself a loyalist. He served in England as colonial representative from 1767 to 1775, during which time he actively strove to resolve the conflicts between Great Britain and the American colonies. It was upon his return to America in 1775 (after his dressing down in the Privy Council by Lord Wedderburn in 1774), that he abandoned his attempts at accommodation and became a voice for independence. He recognized the dangers inherent in rebellion when he told his peers "We must indeed hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately."

Answer 3

He was a Federalist. He had played a major role in shaping the Constitution and worked hard for its ratification. He believed that government should be subject to the people rather than the other way around, that the purpose of government was to protect the rights of life, liberty and property.

Ben Franklin was a Federalist, he was definitely for the U.S. Constitution but was one that did not think that there was a need to have a Bill of Rights.

Fact:Many people think he was the leader of the federalist party,even though he was not. the leader was Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton was shot in a duel and died the next day.

Answer 4

It has been said that Washington was "philosophically" a Federalist, but would have resented any partisan affiliation. Washington supported the ratification of the Constitution, which qualified him as a "federalist" in its original use (i.e. supporting the establishment of a federal system of government in America), and he also affected preference for Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton's national finance and credit plans over his Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson's, opposition. Despite his leanings, in his farewell address Washington said that, "[Partisan spirit] serves always to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."
