Describe the beliefs of the Federalists?

A strong federal government would protect all people, not just the most powerful. The federal government should have more power than the state governments. Ordinary people cannot be trusted to govern themselves wisely; an aristocratic, well-educated few should govern. The Constitution should be loosely interpreted (what it says could have several different meanings) The debt from the Revolutionary War should be paid so that the new nation will have good credit. The United States should have a strong defense and stay out of Europe’s affairs.

$500 Answer from The Constitution
A strong central government poses dangers to individual liberty. State government should have more power than the federal government. Ordinary people, if educated can govern themselves. The Constitution should be strictly interpreted (it means exactly what it says and nothing more) The debt for the Revolutionary War should not be paid; an old government that no longer existed (under the Articles of Confederation) had contracted the debt and the new government was not responsible.
