First, at building the politcal parties, Alexadnria Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson both weren’t seeing eye to eye. They could never agree on anything. Hamilton beleived in a not so strict policy.

In 1789, George Washington was elected as the first president of the new American republic. He selected several people to serve in his cabinet, among which were Alexander Hamilton, an ambitious young immigrant, and Thomas Jefferson, a wealthy plantation owner. Hamilton and Jefferson argued endlessly over various issues, and decisions about these issues contributed greatly to the shaping of our nation. Many of their beliefs have influenced our country to this day, especially their varying perspectives on the Constitution. Hamilton’s belief that the Constitution should be interpreted loosely had a greater effect on the early republic than the strict constructionist view that Jefferson held.
During Washington’s administration, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson had different political views; which created tension between both parties: the Democratic-Republican Party and the Federalist Party. Both parties had different ideologies on how the country should run. The conflict between both parties caught Washington's attention, which led him to write letters for both Hamilton and Jefferson. After Hamilton and Jefferson receive the letters, they wrote him back to explain their current feud between each other. Both Hamilton and Jefferson had different visions for their country.

Alexander Hamilton was a Federalist which means that he supported the Constitution and what it had to say. He believed that the new America needed a strong, central government and a lot of order and less liberty to keep people from following their vicious passions. The strong central government would be having a president, and one bicameral legislature for the whole country. He did not trust that the people will do the right thing if they are given a ton of liberty. He said, “Take mankind as they are and what are they governed by?
Their ideas on how to run the country were as different as their personalities. Jefferson believed in individual states rights whereas Adams favored a strong central government. Adams hoped to keep the friendship and believed “intimacy trumped ideology” (179) but Jefferson was urged by Madison’s to be loyal to the Republican opposition and not to his old friend. This became his primary

Political parties, Democratic Republicans and Federalists, started in the U.S. because of differing views of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, and the influence of newspapers. Jefferson’s and Hamilton’s different ways of thinking(mostly on issues that was beneficial for the country) played a huge part in the start of political parties. They fought about economy.

Both men have made very significant accomplishments during their lifetime. Jefferson became the Vice President of the United States. This position caused problems because the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches were in favor of the Democratic party and Jefferson was in favor of the Republican party. Therefore, it was difficult for Jefferson to obtain support because everyone disagreed with his views and ideas. If Jefferson and Hamilton did not disagree, the United States could run more
In the election of 1800 Jefferson was going for president and “Hamilton’s goal in the election was to keep Jefferson out of the government,” ( Pg. 91 of Hamilton by Arthur M. Schlesinger). He tried to keep him out by putting in a Federalist candidate which is John Adams. John Adams,who was the 2nd president of the United States of America, also hated Hamilton but sided with him because he was a federalist.
When it comes to Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton the main difference between the two was their political party. The basis of each of their political parties set the boundaries for their beliefs and their views as politicians. Both men were founding fathers of our country, and made a huge impact on history as we know it. Without these men, our country's government might not be what it is today.

Jefferson and Madison; Jeffersonian Republicans with Federalist Tendencies The ideological differences between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson led to rancorous disputes and the first political parties in America. Throughout the 1790s, the two fought bitterly over issues of constitutional interpretation, but during their presidencies both Jefferson and his friend and ally, James Madison, demonstrated the Federalist ideas of their rival. Although they held mostly Jeffersonian Republican tendencies, both Jefferson and Madison occasionally reflected the beliefs of their adversary, Alexander Hamilton.
Hamilton vs. Jefferson Visions to Reality Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton both had very defined visions of the scope and power of the new federal government, how they saw the future of the economic development, and what the United States society should become. In my opinion Alexander Hamilton had more of an impact on the United States during the 1820’s and on contemporary government when compared to Thomas Jefferson. His policies did not strictly work during that time and many of his ideas are still seen in today’s society. Jefferson’s views and ideas on/of the national bank, higher tariffs, debt assumption, The Federalist Party, and his support of the ratification of the Constitution are all reasons in why his policies and visions came closer to becoming a reality. Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, molded the gatherings that provoked to the twofold party system under which the U.S. works today.
