Federalists
cause
Hamiltonians or High Federalists were a faction within the Federalist Party that supported Alexander Hamilton's economic programs. Jeffersonians were a faction within the Democratic-Republican that supported Thomas Jefferson's foreign programs. Hamilton favored a strong federal government while Jefferson favored a strong state govenment.
John Marshall was a Federalist, so he didn't have reservations about federalism. He supported a strong central government with state powers subordinated to the federal government and Constitution.
While it was not a political party in the idea of political parties today, those who opposed the Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans (first political party) favored a strong federal (national) government and weak state governments. They took the name "Federalists" as that was the name given to the people who had supported ratification of the U.S. Constitution.

Yes. I would have supported Hamilton's economic plan. It was important to get the states on strong economic footing and to get them depend of the federal government.

The main disagreement was the issue of a strong federal government, supported by Federalists, or a weak federal government with strong state government or rights, which was supported by anti-federalists, hence the name. But more importantly, while Anti-Federalists strongly disagreed with a federal government they would concede to it if a Bill of Rights was attached, to protect the people from potential tyranny.
