Answer 1

The statement that was true of the Federalist Party is: It supported industry and trade.

The Federalist Party, which was prominent in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, favored a strong central government and promoted policies that supported commerce and manufacturing. The party was primarily supported by merchants, landowners, and those in urban areas, especially in the North, rather than by farmers in isolated areas or in the Southern states.
