The federalists were for a large national government. They believed that the wealthy and well-educated people would be able to make better decisions for the country than the people (states).

I would imagine that the people who wanted the Wealthy, Educated & Well-bred to be the government were the Wealthy, Educated & Well-bred. Who would want to be goverend by Poor, Thick Bastards ? & I am Lolling ! I hope this makes you smile ! An apparrently more useful answer is Alexander Hamilton. (Repostofarepost)
George Washington was not the leader of the Anti-Federalists. George Washington did not believe that the people and politicians should be divided into specific parties.
The common interest of the anti-federalists and federalists was that they both wanted America to be controlled by the people. Their motives were to preserve the liberty and independence of the people.
Federalists believed that the country should be ruled by "the best people"-educated, wealthy, public-spirited men like themselves. Federalists favored a strong national government, with power to those who where wealthy and well-educated.

The Federalists. Alexander Hamilton was the leader of the Federalists so they were also known as the Hamiltonians. They believed in a strong central government. They thought that the best people to govern were the well educated and the wealthy people, the people that had higher social status. Federalists believed in a strong central government so that the nation could be more organized and so that the states would be following the same basic rules. Federalists were strong supporters of the Constitution and wrote papers to inform people why it should be ratified.
The wealthy and well-educated people, that were truly fit to run a nation.
The main difference between federalists and republicans is that federalists believe all power should reside in the government, while republicans believe that power should reside in the people.
