Answer

A strong central government is one that is able to force the states and municipalities to abide by the central government's laws.

The Civil War is an example of a strong central government. There are many good debates about whether things would be better if the southern states were allowed to secede. There is a strong argument that the Civil War was used by the central government to prove its strength in an effort to promote something called the "American System". A quote from Lincoln states directly that he would permit or prohibit slavery in whatever way he thought would "save the union". Sadly, "saving the union" meant using force to prevent secession, basically destroying the foundation of the U.S. Constitution which was willingness to join the union.

A strong central government will have most of its power at its head. States, territories, or provinces are given very limited rights.
