How can you beat me by posting one falsehood after the other which I then correct? Like the Federalists wanted to RE-write the constitution? That is one of the lamest comments I have ever seen.
George Washington was the Federalist candidate for the Presidency in 1792, Adams VP. George Clinton and Thomas Jefferson were the anti-Federalist candidates. Washington's policies were those of Hamilton, the Federalist supreme. He actually ran Washington's administrations and three years of Adams.
Federalists were destroyed by 1804 anything after that was shadow without substance.
The A&S Acts were rather trivial in real impact unfortunately they did allow the RATS to howl and whine and convince sufficient dumbasses to vote for them. Hamilton opposed them to no avail. As I said the state laws were much worse and were used by the Jeffersonians to prosecute those who spoke against his administration. So much for TJ's belief in freedom of the press. Hamilton, however, defended those accused in their trials.
Any competent biography of Washington will reveal the disdain in which he came to hold TJ. But it sounds like you avoid these like the plague and rely on Encyclopedia articles for your historical knowledge. That helps explain why it is so shallow.
Now that you have been corrected again you can declare another victory.

LOL...Kicked your butt again!!!
I'm basing my spin on textbook history. I don't know where your spin originated as you refuse to give me a source to refer to the lying Jefferson statement.
Incidentally, There was no Federalist candidate in 1792!
