Question

Hamilton argued, “A new government, constructed on free principles, is always weak, and must stand in need of the props of a firm and good administration.” Jefferson demurred, claiming “That government is best which governs the least.” Which argument do you think is best today? Why?

Answer 1

I feel that Hamilton's statements has some threshold, in reflection, to today's modern society. I believe that with the many diverse opinions, it seems as if it has weakened us a little more. Lets take for example, the TPP agreement, this stirred many controversy between the rich and the middle classed folks. It was like clashing between Left and Right wing...But that depends on your stance. Another example would be Trump's idea of building a wall. That idea may still be a thought, but the idea of actually building a wall to divide America and Mexico, stirred a lot of hate, and yet a lot of support from the general public. And there were even some who were in between. But regardless, the statement really depends on how clean (or non-biased) your eye lenses are.
I hope you understood that. Have any doubts, please say so. Chur! :)<span />
