Just kidding..

They both had the same opinion on preservation of liberty, and effects on human nature.

Answer 2

The Federalists (Alexander Hamilton) were the ones who wanted the richer people to govern. They wanted a large government with big businesses and factories. The Republicans (Thomas Jefferson) were in favor of the common people. They supported a small (but strong) government and small farms, not big cities.

Answer 3

federalists were supporters of the constitution and anti-federalists were people who opposed the constitution.
These were the historical figures on the two sides of the issue in conventionalizing the U.S. Constitution, and referred to in The Federalist Papers as such.

Answer 4

Neither, is the best answer.

The questions of the era were different and the tools of the time were different.

You could stretch the major issues around a bit to make them appear as modern question such as; Federalists were more in favor of a central government, particularly a central bank. But although that exercise ends up making them appear more like Democrats the fact is that you'd be hard pressed to find Republicans who want to seriously get rid of the Federal Reserve, with the obvious exception of Ron Paul (who technically isn't a Republican at all but a Libertarian.) And while Republicans embrace State's Rights which would put them outside of Federalists in actuality Republicans embrace State's Rights as everybody else does; when it suits their politics. In fact at the time of the Federalists even they would be supportive of State's Rights. Nobody was suggesting that there be no states and everybody, practically to a man, identified himself as a Virginian or a New Yorker or a Georgian. Nobody called themselves a D.C.er or whatever a person from DC. would be called. We don't even do that today.

In the end whether Federalists morphed into modern day Republicans (who didn't come into existence before Abraham Lincoln and don't look like Lincoln's party today (they don't even look like Eisenhower's party today,)) or they became Democrats (who have a much more distinct line back through Jackson and to Jefferson,) it doesn't really matter and the entire question is simply for bored academics who haven't got anything better to do.
