There were many, but it can be summarized as such: Federalists believed in a stronger centralized government and that the states were essentially part of one union that could enact laws upon all states. This party was primarily driven by Alexander Hamilton who correctly saw the need for this to happen from a economic stand-point, to pay off America's early debt and to establish a unified currency. The Anti-Federalists believed in strong states rights and a very minimalist federal government for many reasons. One such was a rational fear that a central government's president might be thought of as a King; whom they had just fought a revolutionary war against. Eventually the less-popular Federalists lost their power and for a period of time America had a one-party system within the Anti-Federalist party called the Democrat Republicans.

The Democratic-Republicans was one of the first political parties in the United States, founded by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison around 1792. They originally called themselves the Anti-Federalists in opposition to the dominant Federalist Party that founded the new United States government. The Federalists favored a strong central government and held elitist values. The Democratic-Republicans supported states' rights, limited government, and a strict interpretation of the Constitution.In 1800, the Democratic Republicans won both the Presidential (Jefferson) and Vice-Presidential offices, as well as the majority of seats in Congress, causing a shift in the direction of government. The Judicial branch was still dominated by Federalists, however, and most heavily influenced by Chief Justice John Marshall, who ensured the federal government retained dominance over the states.The party split into the Democrats and Republicans in 1824, but were not the same as the Democrats and Republicans of the 21st century. The Republican Party mutated quite a few times over the years, becoming the Whig Party from 1833-1856, which then split into the Free Soil and Know-Nothing parties, as well as a new incarnation of the Republicans.
