A Federalist was someone who believed in a strong central government. Federalists cannot really be compared to either Democrats or Republicans; Federalists were their own political party. However, since they opposed the Democratic-Republican party (later to become the Democratic party), they could possibly be associated more with Republicans, in that regard. They did support the Constitution, and favored a loose view of it, meaning that they used such devices as the Elastic Clause to give the central government more power than what is strictly stated in the Constitution.

If all Democrats voted for the plan, and all Republicans voted against, it would pass with 235 votes. But voting did not go exactly by party. In the House vote, approximately 60% of Democrats, and 30% of Republicans were in favor of the plan.
