Federalists believed a strong government would take too much power from the states. cause power struggles among states. encourage states to work together. make state government unnecessary.

The correct answer is "Federalists believed a strong government would encourage states to work together".

Federalism is a type of party, in fact, the first ever party in the United States. Their beliefs could be described as nationalists. The Anti-Federalists was the party that opposed to the Federalists.

The federalist party was led by Alexander Hamilton. They highly supported the Constitution and intended for its ratification.

The main argument between these two parties was about the Bill of Rights. The Federalists believed that it wasn't necessary to add the Bill of Rights to the constitution, because they didn't considered that it limited the people, but only the government. The Anti-Federalists, on the other hand, claimed that without the Bill of Rights, the Constitution gave the government too much power, so people would be at risk of being oppressed.

This issue was finally solved and they reached an agreement in the Virginia Ratifying Convention by establishing the IX Amendment.
