White males
During that time period, voting qualifications were a hotly contested topic. At the time, there was a simple rule: if you were a male, and owned property, you could vote. The Federalist and the Anti-Federalists both had opposing viewpoints on the issue. The Anti-Federalists, made up mostly of farmers and working men and led by Thomas Jefferson, wanted the qualifications to be lowered so that any male who could read could vote, thus making sure that the will of the people was reflected. The Federalists on the other hand, made up of well-to-do business owners and lead by Alexander Hamilton, wanted them increased so that only an elite group could vote, thus insuring that the vote was made by informed, intelligent people.
The Federalist Party was a political coalition of itself. They were formed by a group of individuals in the 1790s who wanted a strong government.
