At this time in history, who is thomas jefferson and alexander hamilton? and what are their views on the role of government in the development of the us?

Thomas Jefferson was the main author of the Declaration of Independence, a US politician, and a staunch advocate of a small federal government. Jefferson felt that the US should have extremely strong state governments with a weak central government. This belief of Jefferson was rooted in his experience as an American colonist underneath the control of a tyrannical central government that implemented laws without the consent of the people. Jefferson would help to create the Anti-federalists.

Alexander Hamilton, on the other hand, was a veteran of the American Revolution and a strong believer in the need of a powerful central (aka federal) government. Hamilton felt that the federal government needed to have significant power over state governments, otherwise the US would develop into 13 different, unique states rather than a nation united by a common set of laws and beliefs.

americans had many intangible advantages. well since the british fought a war far from home military orders, troops, and supplies sometimes took months to reach their destinations, and the british had an extremely difficult objective. they had to persuade the americans to give up their claims of independence, americans had a grand cause: fighting for their rights, their independence and their liberty. this cause is much more just than waging a war to deny independence.

the government closely monitored its finances to avoid another financial collapse.
