What was the viewpoint of the federalists concerning the ratification of the constitution ?

The Federalists were proponents of the ratification of the Constitution in the late 18th century. They strongly supported a stronger central government and the adoption of the Constitution as it was drafted during the Constitutional Convention of 1787.

Federalists believed that a stronger federal government was necessary to create stability, maintain order and effectively address national issues. They argued that the Articles of Confederation, the previous governing document, were too weak and lacked the ability to govern effectively. The Federalists supported the Constitution because they believed it provided a better framework for national unity, defense, economic development and overall governance. They advocated for a strong executive branch a bicameral legislature and a system of checks and balances to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful.
