The Federalist Party was the first American political party, from the early 1790s to 1816, the era of the first party system, with remnants lasting into the 1820s.
In the 1790's Alexander Hamilton and the Federalist Party favored a strong centralized federal government and wanted the individual states to ratify the constitution, even though it meant the states had to give up some of their powers to the federal government.
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.
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.

The majority of reforms advocated by the Populist Party were incorporated into laws by either the state or federal government.

The party that favored strong state government insisted on a strict interpretation of the Constitution to limit the powers of the federal government and protect states' rights. They believed that a strict interpretation would prevent the federal government from overstepping its bounds and encroaching on the authority of individual states. This approach aimed to preserve local governance and ensure that states could exercise their powers without undue interference from a centralized authority. Ultimately, it reflected their commitment to a decentralized political structure.
The North favored National Government and the South favored State Government.

It isn’t ok for state government to overrule a federal government. The federal is above the state.

Yes, the American system does favor federal control or big government to some extent. The federal government has authority over certain aspects, such as national defense, foreign policy, and interstate commerce. However, the system also allows for some power to be vested in the states through the principle of federalism, where they have control over issues like education, public health, and criminal justice. It is a balance between federal control and state autonomy.
