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.
