• I. Hamiltonians vs. Jeffersonians

• A. Hamilton's views--Man is irrational, corrupt, and guided by base instincts.

– 1) Sovereignty must rest with a strong central government insensitive to the popular will

– 2) Government's function is maintain order in a potentially chaotic society. It needs to be remote and secure from the people's emotional uprisings.

• B. Jefferson's views--man is rational, capable of self-improvement.

– 1) Government exists to protect man's natural rights to life, liberty, and happiness.

– 2) The greatest threat to man's freedom is tyrannical government. It needs to be limited in its powers and completely responsive to the needs and desires of the people.

– 3) State governments should have greater power because they are less likely to be despotic.

Washington’s Farewell

• “In contemplating the causes which may disturb our union it occurs as matter of serious concern that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations--Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western -- whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is real difference of local interests and views.” “Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other.”
