Federalists were in favor of a strong central government, and  favored strong fiscal policies that included paying off the  national debt, setting tariffs to make domestic iâ¦ndustries  stronger, and establishing a national bank.
Emile Durkheim developed theories of social structure that included functionalism, the division of labor, and anomie. These theories were founded on the concept of social facts, or societal norms, values, and structures. Functionalism is a concept with three integral elements.
The most systematic modern attempt to resolve this question is found in the writings of Parsons (1938-1953; 1951; 1960; 1966). In Parsonsâ view, sociological theory is an aspect of the theory of social systems and sociology is thereby defined as a special social science.ociology, for Durkheim, was the study of âsocial facts,â and it should not be forgotten that his first major work after completing his French and Latin theses was The Rules of Sociological Method [1895; for a discussion of Durkheimâs conception of social facts, see the biography of Durkheim].
