Federalists did not support wealthy farmers as leaders because they believed that a strong central government led by a more educated and elite class was essential for maintaining order and promoting economic growth. They were concerned that wealthy farmers, while influential, might prioritize their own interests over the broader needs of the nation. Additionally, Federalists favored a balance between different social classes in governance to ensure stability and prevent the dominance of any one group. Hence, they looked to a more diverse leadership that included merchants and professionals rather than solely agrarian interests.
