The Federalists were in support of the adoption of a strong central government. Alexander Hamilton and John Adams were strong advocates of this type of system. The Anti-Federalists were in support of a decentralized system of government. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were strong advocates and they later formed the Democratic-Republican party which is the modern political system today.
Both the Federalists and Anti-Federalists would have supported the present day Executive, Legislature and Judiciary system power and capabilities.
The Federalists wanted the three arms of government to check and balance one another but the Anti-Federalists were scared of the arms of government displaying a high amount of power in comparison to the normal one assigned to them and could cause serious problems to the citizens. The Executive branch is less powerful than in the past due to some amendments. These amendments was established and the two parties involved found a relative balance. An example is the Federalists wanting to adopt the sedition act which will punish and limit the citizens right to freedom of speech, expression and press. The Anti-Federalists were against it and used their stance to wrestle power from the Federalists because the majority of people were also against the Act. This led to the establishment and passage of bill of rights to take care of the fundamental rights of the people. Presently the arms of government have independent powers and they are able to remove members of other arms under certain unruly conditions.
