After the debacle of Shay's Rebellion (another topic entirely), there was a faction favoring a stronger, more centralized government than the confederacy created by the Articles of Confederation. These eventually became called the "Federalist" Party, so called, because they favored a centralized federalgovernment. The Constitution is proof of this, as are The Federalist Papers.
