Jefferson and Jackson Compared BY J.A.SACCO
Jefferson and Jackson Compared Jefferson Jackson Government should be in the hands of experienced, educated leaders Central government should be weak. “That government is best which governs least” A weak central government will protect the country from the evil effects of minority rule Concentration of power in any single branch is dangerous. Separation of powers needed. Farmer backbone of the nation. City workers can not be fully trusted since they can be swayed by city politicians. All citizens are fit for office, regardless of background Central government should be strong. Business should be controlled if necessary. A strong central government will make it possible to check the powers of the favored few. The executive branch of the government should provide leadership for the nation. The President is the representative of all the people. The common man is the backbone of the nation. City worker, farmer, and small businessman can be trusted to assume responsibility for the general welfare of the nation.
