B. An individual's rights and responsibilities
Rugged individualism is the belief that individuals should work for their own success. This belief means people are responsible for their own economic well being and being able to take care of their family. Social welfare is the concept that a person can accept help from the community. This thinking allows a person to accept help from the government and that individuals would expect the government does help in certain cases and protections.
These two concepts came to a head in the US Great Depression. Republicans tended to argue for rugged individualism and the belief that people would be better off if they provided for themselves. This conservative thinking encouraged people to find innovate and find ways to make money during the Great Depression. Those supporting social welfare wanted the government to help support them. This thinking supports the idea that some services and responsibilities should be the burden of the whole community not just individualism in the community.
The development of the political parties formed in the early republican can be attributed to the rivalry between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.
Jefferson was a strong anti-federalist and would help to develop the Democratic-Republican party. Jefferson's focus on a small central government, states rights, and developing a nation based on independent farmers was a message that spoke to many rural communities.
On the other hand, there was Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton favored a strong central government, the development of an industrialized economy, and a loose interpretation of the US Constitution. Hamilton was supported by Northern merchants and wealthy elites, especially in the Northeast.
These two vastly different goals for America helped to spark the Federalist and Democratic-Republican parties in the United States during the early Republic.
