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.
Back in the western times you'd need a cowhand for various types of things because unlike us, people back then only had farms. That could be the reason so many people admired cowhands, or farmhands.
The Anglo-Saxons (the English before the Norman expansion) were a combination of two German tribes. In fact (most people don't know) but hitlers true plan before Heimler got involved was to unite the Germanic peoples (German, Dutch, English, as well as the nordic countries (which are also Germanic) into a melting pot similar to America, but with nothing but Germanic peoples. He Admired the British and didn't wish for war with them. That is why the battle of Britain happened. He wished to scare them out of the war and then allie with them. But the british wouldn't have it.
The Federalist Party advocated a strong central government. A government capable of paying its debts. In accordance with this mission, a protective tariff was proposed to raise revenue. Some Federalists admired Great Britain and advocated war with the First Republic of France. The Federalist Party was supported by the bankers, merchants, shippers, and the aristocracy. They encouraged inventions and our first patent law was passed and signed by President Washington. Federalist power was generally in the northern states and specifically in the northeastern states. In accordance with this, the party established a Bank of the United States in support of paper money and capitalism. Commerce and industry would be aided by this central banking system. Now, the differences. Adams was against inflation and speculation, which Hamilton supported. Adams was in favor of national defense with a navy to protect our merchant shipping from the First Republic of France; Hamilton was in favor of war and called for an increase of our standing army and a declaration of war against the First Republic of France. Both Federalists believed that the central government was superior to the states and the states must submit to federal authority.
Federalists were for a strong federal government and didn't think that the Bill of Rights is necessary for the government to run without corruption. Anti-federalists thought that the Constitution didn't properly protect their rights like a Bill of Rights would do. However, in the end the Federalists let the anti-federalists have the Bill of Rights.
