Abstract:
Federalism in North Carolina between 1800 and 1816 had greater support than any other state in the South. North Carolina Federalists did not suffer from the same malapportionment, gerrymandering or partisan election laws that plagued other southern states. The party did fail to take advantage of several issues that would have increased their popularity among the populous such as judicial reform, legislator pay and taxation. Instead the Federalist Party remained disorganized and unfocused in their goals.
