The Federalist Party of the United States (F), officially the Union Federalist Party (UFP), is a Federal-level political party in the United States that was founded by Whiggist parties in 1722, though it has since broadened its membership to include numerous conservative and libertarian parties and parties with other centre-right political perspectives.

History

The Federalist Party formed in opposition to the policies of President Frank Underwood (in office 1721–1723) and his Democratic Party. In particular, the Federalists support the equality of Congress with the Presidency and favor a program of modernization, banking and economic protectionism to stimulate manufacturing. The Federalist Party is the modern reincarnation of the North Aegean Whigs of 1476, who fought for independence. Just as “Whig” meant opposing tyranny, so does “Federalist”, especially in that the party supports decentralized federalism, Federal non-interference in the affairs of the States, and respect for their popular self-government.

“	Democrats stood for the ‘sovereignty of the [whole mass of the] people’ as expressed in popular demonstrations, constitutional conventions, overt populism, and unobstructed majority rule as a general principle of governing, whereas Whigs and their Federalist descendants advocate the rule of law, written and unchanging constitutions, respect for and non-interference in local (State) self-government, and protections for minority interests against majority tyranny.	”

Platform

The Federalist Party follows a six-tenet philosophy that the party does not specifically associate with centrism. It is instead denoted as “Federalist-Whig philosophy” and “Methodology over Ideology” by the Federalists themselves and also by others, as the movement takes stands on issues across the political spectrum.

The six tenets of the Federalist-Whig philosophy are:

• Fiscal responsibility – “The Federalist-Whig philosophy is to empower the States with the resources to handle their unique affairs.”
• Energy independence – “Reduce dependence on foreign oil by developing practical sources of alternative energy, and expanding the use of Nuclear, Tiberium, Geothermal, Solar, Wind, Hydroelectric, and Waste-to-Energy power in the United States. This will have the simultaneous effect of changing the national security dynamic.” Energy policy must be addressed at the State level as the Federal level is constitutionally denied authority over energy and energy policy.
• Education/Scientific advancement – “Increased public and private emphasis on fields such as space, oceanic, medical and nanotechnology. Also, providing common-sense solutions to enhance our educational system from pre-school to university-level studies.” Furthermore, education policies and laws must, at all times, be made and addressed at the State or local level; Federal interference or involvement in education is constitutionally prohibited and thus must always be avoided.
• State sovereignty – “Each State must be allowed to determine its own course of action based on local values and unique needs; and the States respectively and the Union must respect and not interfere or obstruct the self-determination and self-government of any State, so long as such self-determination and/or self-government does not inhibit or obstruct the self-determination and/or self-government of any other State.”
• Social progression – “Government should refrain from legislating morality. People should have the freedom to act and live their life in a Manner of their own choosing, except when it injures or inhibits another from enjoying or exercising the same freedom.”
• Veterans’ affairs – “Vigilant advocacy relating to the medical, financial, and overall well-being of our military families and veterans.”

“The Federalists are a pragmatic, realist, common sense, centrist-oriented party where rational solutions trump ideology and integrity trumps impunity.”

Core ideals

The core ideals of the United States Federalist Party are:

• The core political values of the United States are Federalism and Republicanism; citizens have a civic duty to aid the state and resist corruption, especially monarchism, aristocracy, and centralized federal government.
• Federalist values are best expressed through an organized political party.
• It is the duty of citizens to vote.
• The yeoman farmer as well as small businesses best exemplify civic virtue and independence from corrupting city influences; government policy should be for his benefit. Financiers, bankers and industrialists make cities the ‘cesspools of corruption’, and should be avoided.
• The Federal government is a dangerous necessity to be instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the people, the States and the Union; it should be watched closely and circumscribed in its powers.
• Separation of church and state is the best method to keep government free of religious disputes, and religion free from corruption by government.
• The federal government must not violate the rights of individuals. The Declaration of Rights and each State’s Declaration of Rights are a central theme.
• The federal government must not violate the rights of the States. Article III of the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for the United States and each State’s Constitution proclaim and protect these principles.
• The Constitution of 1730 was written in order to ensure the freedom of the people. However, “no society can make a perpetual constitution or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs always to the living generation.”
• All citizens have the right to be informed, and thus, to have a say in the government. The protection and expansion of human liberty is one of the chief goals of the Federalists. They also reformed their respective State systems of education. They believe that their citizens have a right to an education no matter their circumstance or status in life.
