There were two definitions of Federalists. The first were the Federalists, and they were people who advocated ratification of the Constitution in 1787. Prominent Federalists of this kind include the 3 writers of the Federalist Papers (Hamilton, Madison, and Jay), created for the above purpose, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington. The second kind of federalist refers to the Federalist Party, created in 1790 over increasing controversy over the policies of Alexander Hamilton. Prominent Federalists of this kind include Alexander Hamilton, the leader of the Federalist Party until his untimely death in 1804, John Adams, second president, and all 4 of John Adams' cabinet members. The first Federalists were only around as long as Constitutional ratification was debated, but the second Federalists, Federalist Party members, were around for most of the 1790s, but they splintered with the election of 1800 and finally collapsed with Alexander Hamilton's death via a duel.
Strict construction is a legal philosophy of judicial interpretation in which the original intent of the constitution holds that the Constitution means exactly what it says, and thus, is not open to interpretation or inference. This legal philosophy is sometimes called "judicial conservatism." In addition, strict constructionalism stemmed from Thomas Jefferson and other anti-federalists, who believed that since the United States government's powers are derived from the consent of the governed then the people or the States should restrict the Supreme Court's power. In other words, a judge should strictly look at the constitution and if it does not answer the problem at hand, then it should be up to the states to decide.

At the beginning of the independent US, the Articles of Confederation was our Constitution (document stating the basic national laws) giving most of the power to the state government. A few years later, 55 men (including Ben Franklin and George Washington) were called to revise the Articles of Confederation. When they started the meeting, they decided that they needed a stronger national government therefore deleting the articles of confederation and starting the US Constitution. The Fedralists were the people who were for the new Constitution but the anti-fedralsists were against the new constitution. Most of the anti-fedralsists were in the state government and that is why they were against it; they would lose power.
