4. Summary of PartySummary of Party
In the party, Federalists vs. Republicans, two
groups of people try to prove that their way of
government is the right way. The leader of the
Federalists was Thomas Jefferson and the leader
of the Republicans was Alexander Hamilton. The
Federalists wanted a strong central government
and a loose interpretation of the Constitution. The
Republicans favored states' rights more than a
central government and they had a strict
interpretation of the Constitution. Another big
difference was that the Federalists encouraged
commerce and manufacturing. While the
Republicans preferred agriculture. These two
sides had totally different points of view of how
the country should be run. What do you think
would be best for the time era 1780-1801?

5. Federalists/Anti-FederalistsFederalists/Anti-Federalists
Federalist Arguments Anti-Federalist Arguments
•A listing of rights can be a
dangerous thing. If the national
government were to protect
specific listed rights, what would
stop it from violating rights other
than the listed ones? Since we
can’t list all the rights, the
Federalists argued that it’s better
to list none at all.
•The separation of powers into
three independent branches
protected the rights of the
people. Each branch represents a
different aspect of the people,
and because all three branches
are equal, no one group can
assume control over another.
•The Constitution gave too much
power to the national government
at the expense of the state
governments.
•There was no Bill of Rights.
•The national government could
maintain an army in peacetime
•Congress, because of the
“necessary and proper clause,”
wielded too much power.
•The executive branch held too
much power.

7. How the Federalist PartyHow the Federalist Party
was Formedwas Formed
• The Federalist Party appeared during George
Washington’s 2nd
term as President as a result of
the Jay Treaty
• The Federalist Party wasn’t started because of the
differences between Jefferson and Hamilton, but
Hamilton’s views did strengthen the party.
• The Northeast states and New Jersey, Delaware,
and Maryland supported the Federalist Party
because they were dominated with commercial
interests.
• When John Adams was elected, he let George
Washington’s Cabinet stay as his Cabinet. The
Cabinet members were strong Federalists.

8. How the Republican PartyHow the Republican Party
was Formedwas Formed
Madison started the party among Congressmen in
Philadelphia as the Republican Party. Then he,
Jefferson, and others reached out to include state
and local leaders around the country, especially
New York and the South. The precise date of
founding is undecided, but around 1792 is a
reasonable estimate; some time in the early
1790s is certain. The new party set up
newspapers that made withering critiques of
Hamilton’s ideas, extolled the yeomen farmer,
argued for strict construction of the Constitution,
supported neutral relations with European
powers, and called for stronger state
governments than the Federalist Party was
proposing.

12. Biography of AlexanderBiography of Alexander
HamiltonHamilton
Alexander Hamilton, an individual with strong thoughts about a central
government, had a tremendous influence on the first political party. He was
born in 1757 on the island of Nexis, British West Indies to a poor Scottish
merchant. His mother provided for his education and that's how he learned to
speak French. Hamilton had an ambition and urge for intelligence, especially
government. At fifteen years old he attended Barber's Academy at
Elizabethtown and met William Livingston, who would later become a signer of
the Constitution. In the year of 1773, while Hamilton was at King's College, the
Revolution put his studies to a halt. During this time he wrote several pro- Whig
pamphlets and fought in principal campaigns. Then he join George
Washington's staff as a secretary. In 1780, Alexander Hamilton married New
Yorker Elizabeth Schuyler. In 1782-83, he was elected to the Continental
Congress because of his interests in strengthening the central government.
Since he wanted a successful campaign, he got together with John Jay and
James Madison to write the Federalist Papers in 1787. As a result, his work paid
off and he won the position of Secretary of the Treasury. While he was at this
position he began to organize the country's finances into a powerful, industrial
nation. He did this by establishing a national bank, funding the national debt,
and encouraged manufacturing. Hamilton's policies brought him into conflict
with Jefferson and Madison. They were against his pro-business economic
program, sympathy for Great Britain, and disdain for the common man. This
was the start of the Federalists against Democratic-Republicans. In 1795,
Hamilton had to leave his office for family and financial needs. Hamilton wanted
to prevent John Adams from winning the presidential election in 1796, but he
failed. In the next presidential debate, between Aaron Burr and Jefferson,
Hamilton supported Jefferson. Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel held in
Weehawken, New Jersey. On July twelfth, Hamilton died from severe injuries.

13. Federalist Papers Info.Federalist Papers Info.
• The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 articles
supporting the ratification of the United States
Constitution. Seventy-seven of the essays were
published in The Independent Journal and The
New York Packet between October 1787 and
August 1788 . A compilation of these and eight
others, called The Federalist, was published in
1788 by J. and A. McLean.
• The Federalist Papers serve as a primary source
for interpretation of the Constitution, as they
outline the philosophy and motivation of the
proposed system of government. The authors of
the Federalist Papers wanted to both influence
the votes in favor of ratification and form future
interpretations of the Constitution.

19. George Washington warns the people a number of things not to do, which include the dangers
of political parties. He states, “ …[to] warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful
effects of the spirit of party, generally.” Wahington worried about growing political conflicts that
were within the nation. He believed that conflicts between political parties weakened the
government and did no help it. Washington thought political unity was the key to a successful
nation, and warned the nation to work out its differences and protect its independence. Besides
warning the people about political parties, he also warned them about not to make permanent
contracts between foreign nations as for it could cause a war based on taking sides, and to
avoid too much public debt and borrowing money. George Washington’s advice is proved to be
a logical way to run a country.
20. The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, wrote the
Federalist Papers in order to convince the public to support the Constitution, as well as the
Federalist Papers. It was one of the most important defenses toward the Constitution during the
ratification process. For the Constitution to be ratified nine states had to approve of it, so as a
result the Federalist Papers helped convey the public to ratify the Constitution. Finally, Madison,
along with several other federalists, were able to convince Virginia to ratify the Constitution.
