Question

Answer 1

The statement that is true of the Federalists' view toward the Constitution is:

They favored a strong central government.

Federalists advocated for a robust federal government as outlined in the Constitution and believed it was necessary to maintain order and preserve the union. They generally opposed the addition of a bill of rights, arguing that it was not necessary since the Constitution itself limited government powers. Federalists typically did not express fear that the three branches would not limit power enough, nor did they emphasize local governments’ understanding of citizens' needs over a strong centralized authority.
