The reality is that if the FF were actually plopped down onto today's political landscape, individually they'd have a tough time finding a home and they'd most likely end up being split 50/50 between the dems and reps. Just like they were split amongst themselves at the time. Some wanted a big central govt (Federalists like that douchebag Hamilton). Some were strong proponents of state sovereignty (Jefferson). Some wanted a strong military. Some wanted no standing army at all. There was so much disagreement among the FF that it's truly amazing that they finally worked it out.
