  I am defining "Strong Federalists" as those who interpret the Constitution as:

    1) Restricting the Commerce clause as only allowing federal action with respect to adjudicating direct movement of (manufactured) goods between the states, or perhaps from one state to foreign areas.

    2) Restricting the incorporation of rights to those that were required to allow the freed slaves to participate in national and possibly local government.

    3) Restricting the Federal Courts to deciding the constitutionality of  its own functioning, not that of other branches of the Government.
