The answer to this question is a) - that a strong, central government will be able to handle the problems that face the new nation. Federalists supported the federal government (hence the name). John Adams is a notable federalist who was elected to the presidency.

The correct answer is option "A strong, central government will be able to handle the problems that face the new nation". The term "federalism" implies a strong central government, at which the followers or "Federalists" believe that a strong federal figure is needed in order to face the problems of the nation. Alexander Hamilton and other supporters formed the Federalist Party in 1791.
