Jefferson and Hamilton are usually understood as opposites from one another. Where Hamilton favored a strong national government supported by business and finance; Jefferson was more a believer in state's rights and tended to favor the smaller farmers more. However both more or less agreed on what they saw as the unique position of the United States, as well as the need to create a national sense of identity and community. The differences can more accurately be explained by the different methods and different pace at which they sought to realize their goals. Hamilton favored rapid expansion and growth: this is why he favored business and industry, he saw the quicker they grew the faster the government would grow in power. Jefferson did not see the need for as rapid an expansion, believing instead that developing too quickly would lead to serious inequalities and damage the long-term health of the nation. Hamilton tended to be less concerned about equality than Jefferson was.
I choose this quote because I think that is interesting to know how two presidents could have different ways of believing. Opposition is important in politics matters because it is a way on how people may know the differences between presidents.
Two opposite presidents Hamilton and Jeffereson. While Hamilton believed in to increase business and industry, Jefferson believed in to be in favor of smaller farmers. Hamilton had a clear vission on how to intervene to support business and industry. He was in favor of a rapid expansion and growth of it even though poors were affected. In addition, he saw that rapid growth of business is (sinonym) of power. Jefferson believed that rapid expansion and growth could be dangerous because it could let a serious inequalities and damage. Hamilton believed in inequality, Jeferson not. However, they were a little big agreed on a national sense of identity and community.
