Question

How did Hamilton's and Jefferson's different experiences relating to the writing of the Constitution affect their roles as members of Washington's cabinet?

Answer 1

Hamilton and Washington were already close to one another so it makes sense that washington gave hamilton the attention he did. more than anything hamilton's views were prized by washington he very well may have been the most socially liberal and economically liberal man of his time, jefferson stood to counter this with ultra-conservative views and policies. the idea was for there to be a sort of balancing act with the cabinet and it worked out quite well for washington and the united states.
