They wanted a stronger federal government
Explanation:
The Federalists wanted a stronger federal government, they thus favored a central bank and tariffs for instance. They were supported by the merchants living in cities and New England whereas the Democratic-Republicans were the party of farmers(those who could vote at least) in the South.
