There are many different aspects and concepts that you'd have to face while making a Federalist government. One of the greatest fears is that the greater officer in the Republic may start being idolized and viewed a more than the average colonists. By doing so, these officers may start taking more control and abusing their power. Another bad thing about having a small group of legislatures is that the small amounts will most likely lead to corruption, bribery may occur between states. This will also make the little confidence in the government that the people might have even smaller. To gain the encouragement and the affection of the people, the government may have to resort to force. Lastly, diversity will be one of the largest problems in this type of government system. Everybody is from different regions of the nation which all have their own unique way of interpreting the situation. This will most likely cause the government to never be able to agree on anything. Lastly some states may be ignored or not valued as highly as other states as stated by The Federal Farmer (Henry Richard Lee) on October 9th, 1787
"The essential parts of a free and good government are a full and equal representation of the people on the legislature"
Smaller and less wealthy states might be put down by the larger states that have more power and wealth.
