1) What were the philosophical and political disagreements between Hamilton and Jefferson that led to the creation of the first American political parties?
Hamilton and Jefferson had many different view on certin things. For instance Hamilton approved the National Bank,he also thought national debt was good for a country. His interpretation of the Constitution was loose while Jefferson's was strict. Jefferson thought state banks would collapse if we started to transfer our money to a National bank and he also felt this would hurt the common man or in his words the "yeoman farmer."
Jefferson supported the yeomen farmer and said that we should be agricultural based. Hamilton wanted to industrialize. They disagreed on a lot of things. Hamilton became part of Federalist party and Jeffersonians became Democratic-Republicans.
Hmmmm Jennah stole most of the good ones. How about Jefferson pushed for expanding the country and opening the port of the mississippi so that the yeoman farmer could be more effective. Where Hamilton pushed for Industrialization and wanted to keep the country small and rid the land of the democratic/republican farmers. Another big issue was the representation of foreign countries.
Another note, Hamilton thought national debt was good because it kept ties with the people and these people put lots of faith and wanted to see the country flourish.
One of the things that divided Jefferson and Hamilton was the world power they liked. Hamilton was a supporter of Britain while Jefferson supported France. Hamilton believed that a country needs to be self-sufficient in order to be able to survive (meaning he supported manufacturing and industry) while Jefferson was a supporter of the Yeoman Farmer.
Hamilton and Jefferson disagreed on many things. Hamilton felt that national debt was good for the country to establish credit, while Jefferson didn't think it was good at all. Hamilton thought that the National Bank(BUS) was a safe place to deposit and transfer money. Jefferson believed that state banks would collapse. Hamilton wanted a loose Constitution and Jefferson was for a strict Constitution. Jefferson strongly supported the Yeoman farmer and wanted the United States to be more agricultural than industrial-as Hamilton preferred. In the end, Hamilton's views and Jefferson's views led to the first American political parties. Hamilton became a Federalist and Jefferson became a Democratic-Republican.
Alexander Hamilton believed in a supreme national government with a loose interpretation of the constitution that allowed for the limitation of the freedom of speech and press. Meanwhile, Jefferson believed in state’s rights the national government with a strict interpretation of the constitution and an emphasis on the common educated man and the yeoman farmer. These differing beliefs became two separate political parties because Hamilton’s ideas appealed to merchants, manufacturers, and the wealthy mainly in the North and East while Jefferson’s ideas appealed to farmers, planters, and the common man in the South and the West.
Hamilton and Jefferson had different views and the way the country should be run. Hamilton believed in a national government over state gov., while Jefferson believed that the states should have a lot of power. Hamilton liked the idea of a loose interpretation of the constitution based on the elastic clause, and Jefferson thought the constitution should be followed strictly. Hamilton supported the wealthy, as well as merchants in the industrial lifestyle. Jefferson supported the "common man", such as yeoman farmers.
