E. They believed that a stronger national government had many economic benefits.

Explanation:

The Federalist Party in North Carolina supported the creation of the new Constitution and the Federalist system because they believed that a strong central government was needed, especially for economic interests.

They noticed that the Articles of Confederation did not work because of the lack of a strong central government which led to a series of governance problems. A strong central government would be able to preserve peace, have a strong policy in finance and preserve the Union of the colonies.
