  3. Two Learning Goals: • I can list the differences between the first two political parties. • I can explain the difference between loose and strict construction.

  4. Political Parties in the United States Views of the Founders: Hamilton Jefferson

  5. SOCIAL BELIEFS Hamilton Federalists Jefferson Democratic-Republicans • “I’m for the little guy” • He believed in the intelligence of the “common man”. • He thought that the best way to earn a living was through farming, and that our nation’s economy should be based on agriculture. • “A powerful government makes a strong nation” • Hamilton had little faith in the common man. • He thought the common man was likely to be short-sighted and to cast his vote without much thought or intelligence.

  6. ECONOMIC BELIEFS Hamilton Federalists Jefferson Democratic-Republicans • Jefferson thought that the best way to earn a living was through farming, and that our nation’s economy should be based on AGRICULTURE. • Jefferson didn’t trust banks and big business---he thought they would just make more money for rich people and hurt the common man. • Hamilton thought that the nation’s economy should be based on MANUFACTURING. • Hamilton believed that the nation should be run by wealthy, well-educated men (elites), who he thought would have better judgment than the common man.

  7. POLITICAL BELIEFS Hamilton Federalists Jefferson Democratic-Republicans • Jefferson believed that most government power should be at the STATE level and in the LEGISLATIVE branch. • Hamilton thought that the EXECUTIVE branch of the government should have lots of power, and that most government power should be at the NATIONAL level.

  8. POLITICAL BELIEFS Hamilton Federalists Jefferson Democratic-Republicans • Jefferson favored a STRICT construction, or interpretation, of the Constitution. • Just like a strict teacher, he didn’t believe in much “wiggle room”. • Hamilton favored a LOOSE construction, or interpretation, of the Constitution. • Just like loose clothes give you room to grow, a loose interpretation of the Constitution would let government grow.

  9. POLITICAL BELIEFS Hamilton Federalists Jefferson Democratic-Republicans • Thomas Jefferson’s beliefs became the basis for the DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN political party. • Alexander Hamilton’s beliefs became the basis for the FEDERALIST political party.

Our party favored a strong national government and believed in a loose interpretation of the Constitution in order to expand the powers of the federal government. 4. Our party supported Hamilton’s financial plan because it would prepare the U.S. to be a strong, industrial nation. 5.

  13. Name That Quote! What does this quote mean in your own words: Who do you think said it (Hamilton or Jefferson)? Explain.

  14. Critical Thinking Question A: “All communities divide themselves into the few and the many. The first are the rich and well born; the other the mass of people…The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge or determine right. Give therefore to the first class a…permanent share in the government…they therefore will ever maintain good government.” Hamilton

  16. Critical Thinking Question C: “The small landowners are the most precious part of the state.” JEFFERSON

  17. Critical Thinking Question D: “The powers contained in a constitution…ought to be constructed liberally (generously/freely) in advancement of the public good.” Hamilton

  18. Critical Thinking Question E: “The superiority…enjoyed by nations that have perfected a branch of industry, constitutes a formidable (difficult/large) obstacle.” Hamilton

  19. Critical Thinking Question F: “I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground- that all powers not delegated [given] to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states, or to the people.” JEFFERSON
