The Federalists were a political group in the early United States that supported a strong national government and the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. They aimed to create a unified nation that could effectively manage issues such as trade, defense, and economic stability. Key figures like Alexander Hamilton and James Madison argued for a system of checks and balances to prevent tyranny while promoting the idea that a strong central authority was essential for the country's success. Their efforts ultimately led to the establishment of a federal system that balanced power between state and national governments.
