Compare and contrast the views of the Federalist party and the Democratic-Republican party on at least three different historical issues.

So far I have a basic information on the Federalist party, but barely any on the Democratic-Republican party, and I don't know 3 different historical issues...

Federalists were generally well educated and land owners. They supported the proposed constitution, and wanted a strong government as well as strong executive branch; while the anti-Federalists wanted a weaker central government. Federalists did not want a bill of rights. They thought the new constitution was sufficient; whereas anti-Federalists demanded a bill of rights. They, anti-Federalists, believed the nation was far too large for the national government to respond to the concerns of people on a state and local basis.

Democratic-Republicans, on the other hand, opposed the national bank, were pro-French in foreign policy, and wanted a strict interpretation of the Constitution and a weak central government.

Unlike the opposition Federalist Party, the Democratic-Republican Party contended that government did not have the right to adopt additional powers to fulfill its duties under the Constitution.

Did you know?

Did you know that the Federalist party and the Democratic-Republican party had contrasting views on several key historical issues? The Federalists, who were educated landowners, supported a strong government and executive branch, while the anti-Federalists advocated for a weaker central government. The Federalists did not initially support a bill of rights, but the anti-Federalists insisted on its inclusion in the Constitution. Another interesting point of divergence was their views on the size of the nation - the anti-Federalists believed the national government would be unable to address the concerns of people at the state and local levels due to the nation's size. In contrast, the Democratic-Republicans opposed the establishment of a national bank, favored a pro-French foreign policy, and believed in a strict interpretation of the Constitution with limited powers for the central government.
