Alexander Hamilton believed in a loose interpretation, while Thomas Jefferson believed in a strict interpretation.
It led to the federalists (hamiltons party ) and the democratic - republican(jeffersons party)
Alexander Hamilton believed in federal government being much like it was in Great Britain. He valued a powerful centralized government with assumption of state debts and a government-owned bank.
Alexander Hamilton believed that a longer presidential term would provide stability and continuity in governance. In Federalist No. 70, he argued that a strong executive needed sufficient time to implement policies and respond to crises effectively. He favored a term of four years, believing it would allow a president to gain the experience necessary for effective leadership while also being short enough to hold them accountable to the public.
The Compromise of 1790 led to the acceptance of Alexander Hamilton's plan for reducing the national debt. This compromise was the first big compromise reached by the new government in America.
Jefferson, who was democratic- republican and supported a weaker central government, says that the excise law is infernal, it's evil. It was stupid to have it in the constitution. He absolutely disagrees on the tax on whiskey. Jefferson was afraid that Hamilton would turn the government a monarchy.
