Federalists believe a strong central government is better than a stronger state government with a weak central government, like that in the Articles of Confederation.
One example of the weakness of the Articles of Confederation, and of weak central governments, is the strong likelihood of state secession, as states are essentially independent entities under the Articles of Confederation.

TVA was envisioned not only as a provider but also as a regional economic development agency that would use federal experts and rural electrification to help modernize the rural region's economy and society.
