In the United States the term federalist usually applies to
Statesmen and public figures supporting ratification of the proposed Constitution of the United States between 1787 and 1789. The Federalists supported a strong central government under the US Constitution. The Anti-Federalists opposed a strong central government and supported a government based upon the Articles of Confederation. They wanted power in the hands of the states, and not the federal government.

federalists supported the us constitution and the non-federalists opposed. The only reason why the non-federalists eventually agreed to the constitution was because in return they would receive the bill of rights.
