our system of government to be based on the principles of equality
If you believe that the government should be big and heavily involved in all aspects of your life and that the government should take care of you from cradle to grave, then you should be a democrat. If you believe in smaller government that should allow you to grow and prosper on your own without government help or interference then you should be a republican.
They favored a strong state government and a weak national government
Your government should reflect the values of the people. The government should respect the rights of individuals and not merely be a vehicle for majority opinion on every subject. Government should be active in protecting the people and not subjecting them to dangers modern or historic. If government is aware of a danger to the people (an earthquake fault or a volcano, for example) it should be pro-active in advising the people on the correct course of action that would help them mitigate the danger. Your government should provide the infrastructure that the economy depends upon, roads, dams, courts, record offices and the like. And should pay for these with a fair and just tax system.
that there government suck and that they he should be empire
That is a very good question. Democrats want government to serve the people. Democrats want government to solve problems. Democrats do not hate government; they understand that government has a purpose. At the same time they are not spend thrifts. The recognize the value of tax dollars and they understand that programs must be continued only if they are cost effective and do an important job. To believe that government should be smaller merely because you believe government should be smaller is thought by jingoism. People who do not like government make poor governors.

Developed by Harold Sommers and is guided by these four principles he had suggested in the field of government expenditure to wit: 1.PRINCIPLE OF MININUM EXPENDITURE- Government must only spend the minimum least it cost,that is in consistent in protecting the welfare of its citizens or people. 2.PRINCIPLE OF MINIMUM INTERFERENCE WITH PRIVATE ENTERPRISE- government spending should have a little interference with private entities, it should not compete with business entities. 3. PRINCIPLE ODF MAXIMUM EMPLOYMENT- Government expenditures its primary purpose is to raise the employment level to a higher level as possible. 4.PRINCIPLE OF MAXIMUM ADVANTAGE-in government spending maximum advantage each expenditures spend should result to a marginal social responsibility advantage
"The government that governs the least governs the best." Government should GET OUT OF THE WAY (High taxes, onerous regulations, etc.) Government should stick to what it's SUPPOSED to do (military, immigration, roads, etc.)
The idea is called "states rights".
