What is a federal government system?
Federalism and the federal system define the basic structure of American government. There were many disagreements at the Constitutional Convention. Many delegates feared a national government that was too strong and many delegates feared that states' rights would merely continue the weak form of government under the Articles. The Constitution created a federal system of government (federalism) as a compromise. Under federalism, power is shared and divided between national and state governments. Both levels have their own agencies and officials and directly affect the people. The Founding Fathers really had no other choice except federalism. The weak union created under the Articles would not work yet people did not want to give all the power to a national government. Federalism was the middle ground--compromise--a way to distribute authority between the states and the national government
Which plan favored a strong central government?
To a very limited degree the Federalists actually preferred to have a "strong" central government. Many opponents to the federalists argued the point of danger inherent with placing so much power in the hands of so few so far away from the people that they were to represent. No "Party" in and of itself actually supported a centralized federal government although there were many individuals that did as well as many more that feared the constitution would give the federal government would illegally usurp that power. One of the methods for preventing this was the addition of the tenth amendment into the Constitution within the Bill of Rights. The Tenth amendment declared that the powers of the federal government were few and well defined and that any powers not specifically granted to the federal government by nature, reverted to the States and to the people.
