The Federalists believed that the 'Federal' government should be the most powerful and have control of the people and the individual countries, 'states', of the United States. They believed the government should be much like that of England and France except with a leadership of the highly educated, (Royalty), instead of royal bloodlines.

The U.S. Constitution with its original penning gave then a change to push this, But when it went to the 'states' for ratification they added more rules to guarantee the people and the 'states' the freedom's and powers that no other country ever had before, hence the words 'the great experiment' were used. With the Constitution's and the added first ten Amendments (Bill of Rights) it was an enumeration of limited powers to the federal government and institutional safeguards against oppression. This was a great design with one flaw, as the people didn't right and protect the Constitution's idea and regulation the federal government started creeping of the line drawn and begin taking powers from the people.
