Answer:

a strong central government and the Federalist Party

Step-by-step explanation:

By giving the central government with the power to pay of the States' debt, the congress will also granted the right of the central government to impose high tax rates that it could accumulate from the corporations and the citizens and through the creation of tariffs for business transactions in the country.

The power to do this actually make the central government become more powerful.

This idea proposed by Alexander Hamilton which at that time was the leader of the Federalist party.
