How was the government run by the federalist?

The government run by the Federalists, particularly during the administration of George Washington and John Adams, emphasized a strong central authority and a robust national government. They advocated for a loose interpretation of the Constitution, supporting measures like the creation of a national bank and federal assumption of state debts. Federalists prioritized economic development and maintained a pro-British foreign policy, aiming to stabilize the young nation. Their governance faced criticism from the opposing Democratic-Republicans, who favored states' rights and a more limited federal government.
