The Federalists believed that a strong central government would benefit the new nation. They felt that the men who framed the Constitution were bright, capable, and experienced, and after debating it for four months, it must be perfect. The federalists trusted in the checks and balances of the Constitution and knew that power would not be given to one party, or branch of the government. These men felt that a republican form of government was the most advantageous for controlling the effects of faction because it represents the people more, and due to more citizens voting in more states it is less likely that the same group will always be the majority.
