John Adams is a Federalist which is a person that believes that the government should be in control. Britain had monarchy system which is what Adam as it is seems to think is the perfect system because he thinks that the government should be in charge and the people shouldn 't get a say in what is happening. Alexander Hamilton and Adams together because they had the same beliefs being federalist.
Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists Federalists were mostly merchants, bankers manufacturers, and wealthy farm owners. They basically owned land or some type of property and were well-educated.

It 's never good for a new country to fight over its very foundation. In the USA’s case the foundation was the constitution, and the disagreement was over how to interpret the document. The amendments and code of conduct are listed in the constitution so this dispute was for the better of the country. The Federalists believed in a loose interpretation of the constitution.
Thomas Jefferson- one of the great American founding fathers with exquisite taste in architecture and French wine, but also known to hold a controversial set of ideas- fought frequently and strongly against the Federalists ideas before he achieved Presidency. Jefferson and the other republican democrats who followed suit held the belief that the powers of the federal government should be left strictly to what is granted to them in the Constitution. Those powers not specifically addressed in the Constitution would then be delegated to the state governments. This is to ensure that the federal government did not have too much power as they believe a country runs best under a form of self-government.
The Federalists favored strong central government putting more faith in the government instead of the people they were supposed to represent. The federalists were also in favor of the elite and allying closely with the British. Hamilton still admired British culture even after he fought for American independence from the British. The Federalists were also in favor of regulations for entrepreneurs, unlike the Jeffersonians who were in favor of being free of intrusive government regulations. The Federalists were also in favor of integrating the United States into the global economy to further the industrial industry.
Before I state my opinion, I must lay out the two opposing sides between the federalists and the anti Federalists. To put it simply, federalists were people who supported the ratification of the constitution.

If I was living in the in the 1780’s I probably would have voted and supported the ratification of the constitution. I am the type of person that wants a strong and unified central government.

Jefferson and his secretary of the treasury Albert Gallatin rejected the federalist’s idea that a national bank would strengthen the government by giving creditors a stake in its benefits, while John Adams and his federalist party believed in the national bank.
