Federalist Party political philosophy
The 9/19/2022 version of the article on the Federalist Party starts out by claiming the Federalists were conservative. The opposite is actually true. The Federalist's main reason for being is supporting a strong federal government, hardly a conservative value. The Constitution, for which which the federalist faction fought hard to get past, is a liberal document created by liberals. Conservatives fought almost as hard to prevent its creation.

Beyond that, the Federalist Party encompassed philosophies from both sides of the spectrum. For example, a strong central government is a liberal value and anti-tariffs are a conservative value.

I will change the characterization and make it more neutral. My Esoteric (talk) 14:28, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
