The federalists objective was to establish a strong central government. Some of the most defining points the party has used are in the federalists papers, mostly made from Alexander Hamilton. These letters urged for the ratification of the constitution, and defined what should be individual and state rights and checks and balances. Some defining points in national documents are that an individual has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The allowance of a peaceful public meeting, the custody of a legally owned gun, etc.
