Detailed explanation-1: -The Federalists would never again rise to power. The Republican Party: Known informally as the Jeffersonian Republicans, this group of politicians organized in opposition to the policies of Federalists such as Alexander Hamilton, who favored a strong central government.

Its inability to accommodate early enough a rising, popular democratic spirit, often strongest in towns and cities, was its undoing.
