The Federalist Party was in service between 1798 and 1801, and the Democratic-Republican Party was in service between 1792 and 1798.
The Federalist Party were proponents of a strong, centralized national government and a strong executive branch. Federalists did not support a Bill of Rights, supported an economy based on agriculture, believed that the Constitution was open to interpretation, and asserted that the government had the right to adopt additional powers. In foreign policy, Federalists sided with the British and opposed the French Revolution. Federalists supported Alexander Hamilton.
The Democratic-Republican Party were in support of a weak, centralized government fearing that a strong central government would lead to tyranny. The DR Party supported the Bill of Rights to supplement the Constitution in order to support the people. They believed the Constitution was a strict document that limited the federal government's ability to adopt additional powers. The DRP often aligned itself with France and admired the French's Revolution.
The King issued a Proclamation of Rebellion.
In my opinion the branch of government that has the most control over the government would be the "legislative branch." The legislative branch is the branch that creates laws that everyone in the country has to follow in order to stay out of legal trouble which makes it very powerful because it can change your everyday life if the bill becomes a law.
Hope this helps.
