I'm Asking myself the same question but maybe to make the government simpler
because they did
the states wanted more power over the federal government.
Federalism - power divided between the states and central govt
A strong central government
Alexander Hamilton was regarded as a founding father of the United States. Hamilton and his group supported a Strong Central Government
No, they wanted a small government. They were more focused on the states' rights. Supporters of Adams (National Republicans) were in favor of the strong central gov.
Actually, the Anti-Federalists were afraid of a strong central government. They were afraid that their states rights would be over shadowed and they would be ruled over by a tyranny. They did not want a strong central government making their laws and infringing on their rights. The states believed that oy they could deteine what was best for themselves.
Because if they don't we'll get into another civil war, and we don't want that again.
A strong central government
To preserve the independence of the states
no
A strong central government
