It was a political party that first led by Alexander
Hamilton. It played an active role in
crafting the Constitution of the United States.

interest and economic policies that would make the government stronger. Apart from defining what Federalism is,
Hamilton together with James Madison also wrote several essays in defense of
separation of powers and after ratification expanded his explanation of the
Constitution to support his recommended economic policies as the Secretary of
Treasury.
