Not much really.
The government did not really govern the big business and they could basically do what they pleased. But as the journalists and writers and the workers started bringing all the bad things the big businesses were doing to the light of day the government started intervening just a little. A landmark law passed at the time would be the <span> Sherman Act that was against the trusts. </span>
One way that the British government carried out the policy of mercantilism was by (4) requiring that most colonial trade occur within the British empire. This was the basic policy of colonial mercantilism, where colonies such as the United States could only trade with Great Britain, and was banned from trading with other colonial superpowers, such as the Netherlands, France and Spain.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not attach the Federalist paper to properly answer your question.
However, trying to help you we can comment on the following.
George Mason’s essay about government differed from ideas expressed in The Federalist Papers in that George mason believed that the Federalists supported the creation of a strong central government that could have the risk to turn into a dictatorship, as was the case of the English monarchy. Mason was against the aggressions and aggravations committed by the English king and he did not want that for the American people. That is why he opposed the ratification of the Constitution under that strong federal government conception supported by Federalists like Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.
George Mason was an Antifederalist like Thomas Jefferson, and he firmly believed in a government that included many rights for the citizens.
