Alexander Hamilton was a Federalist. He and his backers were called the "Hamiltonian's" as opposed to Thomas Jefferson's form of government. He and his followers were called the "Jeffersonians."

-The Hamiltonian's wanted a very strong central government as they admired the English aristocracy and the English system of government and wished to see it used as a model.

-Hamiltonian's considered the common people ignorant and incapable of self-government.

-Hamiltonian's desired high voting qualifications, claiming that unfettered democracy was anarchy.

-Hamiltonian's favored a broad interpretation of the Constitution to strengthen the central government at the expense of of state's rights.

-Hamiltonian's wanted an expanding bureaucracy.

-Hamiltonian's, under certain circumstances, favored restrictions on speech and the press.
