Jefferson thought that the distribution of power among federal, state, county, and local agencies was vital to America’s “system of fundamental balances and checks for the government.” The Senate is still based on equal representation and the House still based on population.
The problem in government today is special interest groups (factions) who continuously lobby our elected officials. Politicians listen to these groups because they are the same people who donate money to campaign funds and other interests of politicians. These are the people who have the power.
Thomas Jefferson spoke against a strong federal government and instead advocated states’ rights. The Founding Fathers viewed "factions" as dangerous to the public interest; which is the main problem today in American government.
