The federalist most basic quality is that they support the Constitution. They believed that in levels of government and separation of powers as being vital to their governmental positions. The separation of powers into three independent branches protected the rights of the people. Each branch represents a different aspect of the people, and because all three branches are equal, no one group can assume control over another. A listing of rights can be a dangerous thing. If the national government were to protect specific listed rights, what would stop it from violating rights other than the listed ones? Since we can't list all the rights, the Federalists argued that it's better to list none at all. The country would prosper with the Constitution because the Federalists were much more organized and had a greater following of "important" states. If the country decided on using the articles of confederation it would prove to be weak and ineffective. Overall the Articles of Confederation would cause to country to be held back from growth and would create a land of disorder. The best choice for America to take at this point in time would undoubtedly be the Constitution because it would later include a Bill of Rights, one they had time to draft it and would protect the rights of the individual.
