There are two answers to this question. Federalists were those people who supported ratification of the new Constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation. They took the name "Federalist" because the Constitution established a federal system of government. After the first election of George Washington, two political parties developed. One, led by Jefferson, called the Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans and the second, led by Hamilton and Adams, were called the Federalists. They favored a strong national government with states having less power than the federal government. They favored an industrial United States and close ties to Great Britain.
