While Jefferson preferred an agrarian nation, Hamilton favored an industrial and business intensive nation. As such, Jefferson detested Hamilton's idea of a strong federal government. Jefferson wanted the bulk of power to rest with the states. While Hamilton distrusted popular will and believed that the federal government should wield considerable power in order steer a successful course, Jefferson placed his trust in the people as governors.

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.
