the federalists believed that the powers of government could be limited by
confining the powers of the federal government to certain narrowly defined areas and by adding a bill of rights to the constitution.
creating an internal system of checks and controls within government.
preventing government from collecting revenue through taxation.
providing congress with larger grant powers.
decreasing the powers of the executive branch, especially those of the vice president.

Explanation:

The Federalists favored a strong central government but also believed in limiting its powers through an internal system of checks - and - balances. This system ensures that no single branch of government becomes too powerful. They did not focus on confining federal powers to narrow areas as the Anti - Federalists did, nor did they aim to prevent government revenue collection, increase Congress's grant powers, or decrease executive powers in the way described.

Answer:

B. creating an internal system of checks and controls within government.
