Federalist believed in a strong central government. They also believed in loose constructionalism, which means following the constitution based on its implications as well as its wording. Federalist and anti-federalist were essentially the first political groups in the United STates. An example of a federalist is James Madison while Thomas Jefferson was an anti-federalist.
