  1. The idea of transforming different states into a stronger central government was enlisted with the ideas of Hamilton and the federalists. As the federalists our new form of government is superior because of its philosophy, parties associated with and our supporters. The ideas of Alexander Hamilton about transforming a weak overall country with different powers to a strong globally force economy. As a country we need to all come together as a whole under the same laws and same strong central force.
    As Federalist's our philosophy of Republican virtue is best because it promotes a more American lifestyle. Our ideal is for the American people to live in a merchant economy in order to promote overall profit, intelligence, and beneficial lifestyles. The merchant economy would allow those whom strive to achieve intelligence and a better life to succeed, while diminishing those whom could care less about success. As Americans we should only support those who are willing to try because the poor who do not attempt to succeed are stupid. Alexander Hamilton made his way from poor to powerful and so can anyone else. We need our country to be ruled by determined, dedicated, intelligent people in order to create the best decisions for the overall people. America should be a land of successful people creating more successful people. If we were to be ruled by those clueless farmers America would go to crap and the intelligence of the country would demise. We will not let this happen to our America. If one truly loves America, then they would truly understand the importance of having the wise and determined sort out what to do. Our government will unite all states and prevent one state from gaining too much power and becoming a tyrant. The Merchant economy will promote a stable and excellent economy, which will bring in a steady income to further the happiness of the American people. Our government would also create one unified army, which would be larger than any state army, and it would be more united and powerful under one leader to affectively defeat any invading enemies. Thus, the merchant economy would greatly benefit the economy, which would help pay for one united powerful army, who would further the protection of all of the American people. This leads to our government and idea of a merchant economy withholding the best concept of philosophy on Republican Virtue.
    As the Federalist Party, we ensure that the American population and the economy are protected. With our aggressive development in manufacturing, we diversify the labor given over to a select group of farming in our country by promoting immigration. We know that there are many talents out there; therefore having a greater scope of diversity will help out with farming. We also secure a better domestic market for agricultural products. Because of us, we created a substantial program of federal aid to promote the development of manufacturing enterprises, which is something that America desperately needs for the economy. We support protective tariffs to secure young American businesses from foreign competitors. We even saved the democracy from poverty by creating our central bank and passing tax laws to end our war debt.
    The people who support us are ones who work mainly in manufacturing and wanted to completely get rid of the debt that was in the country. Being a federalist, we want a national bank to control the money being used through the federal government to prevent national debt. The idea that the whole nation was under one currency benefited the people that actually dealt with the money, merchants. Having one currency amongst all the states would allow for a more unified stronger economy and country. Having tariffs on every day goods protected the working people of the country allowing other countries to be eliminated from that good being produced.

  2. As Federalists we look to improve the overall quality of America as a whole, which can only be achieved through a strong central government, merchant economy, and intelligent leaders. We seek to unite all Americans and prevent any single state from gaining more power than another and to protect our beautiful country by having a strong army and stable economy. Within the merchant economy we will be able to benefit America and stabilize its funds long term, while keeping the peoples’ best interests in our minds. Only the smartest and best of the best will be able to rule such as Madison and Jefferson. Even our forefather, Washington withheld the same beliefs as us. The smart shall rule and help promote the accessibility of success and wisdom to all people. As Americans we need no fool living here because America is for the best. If one is not willing to gain the common wit to better ones self and ones country then they should return to Britain to be reunited with the hypocritical idiotic monarchy.

  4. Defense: We are not going to allow for our government to become corrupt. The various branches we have will ensure the equality of state representation and the executive branches rights. Having a president will not ever restult in a monarchy because we are in America the new land of the free and we the federalists have no intention of diminishing the freedom of our people. We just strive for a better more determined America, in which slackers will be diminished until there are none left and the economy would rise and bring America into power as one of the richest, most powerful, and free country ever. The arguments against our new government are completly invalid and it only takes a genious to realize that we are correct. If you had any witt whatsoever you would support our amazing merchant economy, which will benefit america for the greater good and will NEVER become corrupt.

  5. Federalists are always trying to use their intelligence to blind the population from your intentions. Can you not see that if we were to have a country where all people are free minded we would be able to progress as history has been progressing? In a federalist government people are restrained by the separation of those who have more money and those who have less. If all people were to become self sufficient, new ideas would be generated, new thoughts, and more efficient ways of living.

  6. Defending the federalists
    As federalists we want our country to achieve the highest power that it possibly can and this can be only done through a strong central government not a weak state government. By having a strong central government we will be able to achieve power and direct representation from the states, which is what many fear about having a strong central government . As federalists we are striving to eliminate the idea of power coming from the states and evolving into a strong powerful government. We live in a newly formed country and having a president would not under any circumstances allow us to evolve into a monarchy.

  7. Attacking the anti-federalists
    As a federalist, I am a hard-working merchant in which I do not only work hard as other Americans but I believe that power should be strong and central not weak and not spread out. Although our country is new and people are still working their way up, majority of our country does fall into the working class. Why be mediocre and have a mediocre government when you can have a stable job and a powerful government that protects your rights as an American citizen. Does it really make since for power to come from the states? Did you ever think of the possibility of one state gaining more power than the other allowing other states to feel discriminated from power.

  9. Defense Hamilton:
    We don’t need foolish common people running this country. They will destroy everything we have worked so hard to acquire. Voting is not something for the weak but is instead something for the well educated and wealthy. We also need more smart federal employees. This will keep our country in place including the commoners. Poor people have no idea what it’s like to make decisions for America so they aren’t needed to help make them.

    Attack Jefferson:
    We look to have all citizens of the state participate to make difficult decisions that need to be made for the country. We need people of all types of backgrounds and idea’s with a variety of opinions to make the best decisions. This is what America is about; freedom and equal rights for all people. Therefore, I believe in the common people and disapprove of special privileges for the wealthy. We are one country, we should start acting like it.
