American Political Wars
Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were cabinet members in Washington’s administration. However, these leaders differed in most of their ideologies. This paper focuses on the ideological differences in these leaders.
The two major political groups of the U.S concurred that the united states would rise and grow into industrial and commerce power. The Jeffersonian also was known as the Republicans, and the Hamilton also referred to the federalists differed on the transformational transition from an agricultural household economy to an industrial economy founded on trade and industry (Brands, Breen and Williams n.p). The federalist encouraged rapid integration with the view that to modernize the economy there was a need for marginal institutions directed by the social elites. The Jeffersonian had a different perspective with no trust in the elite run institution owing to the view that a similar institution had corrupted the British government. The ratified constitution transferred power to the people however others feared it would lead to chronic instability. The Republicans favored a country run by the people with an environment where ordinary entrepreneurs would be freed from intrusive interventions and regulations by the government. On the other hand, the federalist had a view that championed for the social elite who understood financial issues, the banks, and manufacturers.
Foreign affair effect on the domestic politics of the United States created a toxic conflicted political environment which saw the Hamilton group seeking a position that was closely allied to Britain while the Republicans favored an alliance to France.

Ideally, the Jeffersons wanted to emulate France advocating for the strict interpretation of the constitution and a strong vigilance against monopolizing the economy. This rule raised the question of the role of the federal government in the economy with the view of decentralization and the advocacy for state rights. The Federalist were however opposed to this and sought a centralized economic plan with a stable national government with the view that the common man was dumb and there was the need for public order (Brands, Breen and Williams n.p).
