Some of the more prominent similarities are that both strongly oppose slavery, both were formed because of a dispute, both support a strong central government and that both are organized on federal and state levels.

Hi!

One this is that both the Democratic party and the federalists believed in supporting a strong central government.

Although Federalist originated in opposition to the Democratic-Republican Party, both parties agreed in supporting a strong national government, support infrastructure projects and supported the idea of high taxes
