∙ 10y agoThe federalists lost power because of westward expansion. With more people moving to the west there were more people who supported Thomas Jefferson and his pro-agrarain ways. (agrarianism is the belief that rural farming communities are morally superior to city-communities). People supporting Thomas Jefferson supported the Democratic - Republicans, and this led to a drop in the support of the Federalists. Also included in this is the fact that Thomas Jefferson was the first president to live in the new capitol Washington, DC. which was between the southern states of Virginia and Maryland. This marked the beginning to the Federalist decline, as the Federalists were centered in the northern New England areas.
Also Arron Burr (VP) shot and killed a main Federalist Hamilton in a duel.

Did Thomas Jefferson become a Hamiltonian?
No. Jefferson lead one camp while Hamilton lead a completely different camp. In America's first fledgling years, two groups of people formed: the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Hamilton was a strong Federalist and strove to build the US up into an industrial world power. In order to do this, a large strong central government was needed.In opposition to the Federalists came the Anti-Federalists. The Federalists would outlast the Anti-Federalists as an established body while the Anti-Federalists would go through stages and evolution around a few central ideals. One evolution of the Anti-Federalists was the Jeffersonian-Republicans, lead by Jefferson. While Hamilton saw the future of the US in northern industry and merchants, Jefferson was an ardent supporter of the yeoman farmer. A strong government hindered an agrarian nation that Jefferson sought. Individual rights were more easily overlooked with strong government control - a refrain repeated by Jefferson throughout his life.
