The correct answer is C) the powers of the federal government provided in the Constitution.
Hamilton and Jefferson frequently disagreed with one another, especially when it came to his financial policy and the creation of the Bank of the United States.
The concept that was at the center of this debate, and was most responsible for causing the formation of two political parties was the powers of the federal government provided in the Constitution.
Federalists, led by Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, favored a strong central government to rule the new United States. But they faced the opposition of antifederalists, led by Thomas Jefferson who opposed to a strong central government because the nation could have the risk of being ruled by tyrants such as the case of the English monarchy. After many debates and negotiations, James Madison had the great idea of including a Bill of Rights, which are the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution.
