The Federalists were a political faction and later a political party in the early years of the United States. The purpose of the Federalist movement was primarily centered around supporting the ratification of the United States Constitution, which was drafted in 1787. The Federalists believed in a strong central government and a constitution that granted specific powers to the federal government. Their views were in contrast to the Anti-Federalists, who were skeptical of a strong central government and were concerned about potential abuses of power.

Prominent Federalist leaders, such as Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, wrote a series of essays known as the Federalist Papers to advocate for the ratification of the Constitution.
