To a very limited degree the Federalists actually preferred to have a "strong" central government. Many opponents to the federalists argued the point of danger inherent with placing so much power in the hands of so few so far away from the people that they were to represent. No "Party" in and of itself actually supported a centralized federal government although there were many individuals that did as well as many more that feared the constitution would give the federal government would illegally usurp that power. One of the methods for preventing this was the addition of the tenth amendment into the Constitution within the Bill of Rights. The Tenth amendment declared that the powers of the federal government were few and well defined and that any powers not specifically granted to the federal government by nature, reverted to the States and to the people.

The distrust of a strong central government is best shown by the strength of the Anti-Federalists, who opposed the new constitution of 1787, and strong central government in general. Having just fought a long, bitter and bloody war to rid themselves of one tyrrany, the Anti-Federalists thought it was insane to voluntarily create a new tyrrany and fasten it upon themselves. Incidentally, every evil the Anti-Federalists anticipated would come to pass from a strong central government has indeed become reality, and been far exceeded. So, they were correct in their apprehensions of where such ideas would lead.
