Answer 2

The disagreements between Hamilton and Jefferson led to D-new political parties.

The first American party ever made was the Federalist, in 1787, led mainly by Alexander Hamilton and the support of other leaders such as bankers, northern businessmen, and merchants. They promoted the belief that Constitution was open to interpretation, thus the government had "unmentioned rights" to have additional powers, and also found necessary a strong national government and a national bank, as well as a good relationship with England.

Thomas Jefferson strongly opposed to the Federalist interpretation of the Constitution as well as the idea of a strong government, and around a year later he formed the second American party with James Madison: The Democratic-Republican. It was supported by planters, small farmers, and artisans. In contrast, they leaned to the idea of giving more power to the states and local governments and preferred to have a good relationship with France, instead of Britain.
