Answer: The federal government should be stronger than state governments.
Explanation:
The Federalists were a group of important intellectuals and lawmakers, which formed in 1787 to support and spread their belief that the 13 American states needed to unite under the same flag and grant more power to the federal government, while keeping their power as well. The Federalists believed there should be a federal Constitution in place (which later became the American Constitution), which would protect American citizens no matter what state they came from. Basically, the Federalists argued for the creation of a higher government structure, which would ensure respect for fundamental rights, and less power to the state governments. The Federalists called for a strong national government.
