No. None of the founding fathers wanted a strong federal Government. They set up a federal system that served the needs for defense and trade between states and nothing more. This was the framework that they felt would prevent another King situation like that of England at the time or the bloated Federal system we see today.

None of the founding fathers wanted another England style of Government. They felt this was a problem that could be cured with a weaker federal system. The Articles of Confederation proved to be slightly too weak to hold the Government together so the new Constitution was made to give some more teeth to the Federal portion and still keep it fairly weak compared to the States. Washington Presidency Addition: Actually Alexander Hamilton did believe in a strong central government. He believed it would solve their problem. This however goes against the constitution. For this reason Thomas Jefferson disagreed he believed in rights for the people.
