Hamiltonian vs Jeffersonian Democracies
Federalist and the Democratic Republican parties, respectively. The Federalists, led by Alexander Hamilton, advocated the importance of a strong central government in leading the country forward, while the Democratic Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson, promoted increasing the common man’s role in government. Although both political parties had good intentions for the future of the United States, the Federalist Party was much more effective at uniting the American people, avoiding domestic faction, and keeping the best interests in mind for the future of the United States.
Hamilton said the few, and Jefferson said the many.
This is fact that the policies and strategies of Thomas Jefferson served and facilitated a vital equilibrium to ideas of Hamilton. Support of Jefferson of states’ rights and farming assisted to balance the influence of the Hamilton-helping mercantilists and companies. Though, in the absence of Hamilton’s offset, the policies of Jefferson may become the administration weak and unsuccessful to treat with huge domestic and international crises.
Alexander Hamilton
Hamilton, however, believed that Washington should publicly declare that the United States would remain out of the war, Washington did eventually deny Genet's request, but he did not declare the 1778 treaty void, as Hamilton suggested. Genet was allowed to continue his recruitment campaign, which nearly prompted Great Britain to declare war on the United States. Washington ordered Genet to return to France, but Genet asked not to be sent home because he believed that he would lose his head on the guillotine if he returned. Washington allowed him to stay in America.
The British, angry with America's borderline participation in the wars, began taking measures into their own hands. Great Britain still maintained military outposts in the westernmost lands of the United States, and refused to remove these soldiers. British soldiers also began to impress American civilians and merchant sailors
