Paper Summary:

The conflict that took shape in the 1790s between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists had a large impact on American history. The paper shows that the Federalists, led by Alexander Hamilton, represented the urban business interests of the seaports. The Anti-Federalists, led by Thomas Jefferson, rallied for the rural and southern interests. The paper shows that while supporters of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton both desired economic growth and development, they differed on how best to accomplish that goal. These alternative policies occurred at a critical time in American history, and the policies that ensued between these two important architects govern the country, even today.

From the Paper:

"Alexander Hamilton was a Federalist, who believed that a strong federal government was vital to the survival of the new America's, a view with which Washington agreed with. Hamilton and the Federalists feared that having a weak government would allow for conflicts between the new states, and invasion by foreign forces. Hamilton believed that the wealthy elites were best suited to govern the people, and that commonplace man as was easily led off track (Elkins, 1993)."
