The Essex Junto was a powerful group and faction of the New England Federalist Party, constituting lawyers, merchants, and politicians, so called because many in the original group were from Essex County, Massachusetts. The party was the hard-right of the greater federalist party of the region, supporting a reactionary approach to proposed mass suffrage and democratic reform, and a form of government patterned on the British constitutional model.
