Question

What did the Federalists believe was required to ensure a reasonable balance of liberty, order, and progress?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Federalists believe that to ensure a reasonable balance of liberty, order, and progress there must be:

b. A strong national government

Explanation:

A strong government at the center will ensure balance of liberty, order, and progress since the Constitution cannot guarantee these on its own without a strong government backing it.  The Federalists argued that the separation of the three branches of government would ensure liberty of the people, since each exercises checks and balances on one another's powers.  The Federalists also called for a strong national government that promoted economic growth and fostered friendly relationships with Great Britain in opposition to Revolutionary France.
