Alexander Hamilton, at that time Secretary of the Treasury. Headstrong, brilliant, and volatile, Hamilton himself and his economic policies stirred controversy and the Federalists evolved in support of his policies and later of his views. Hamilton led the Federalist Party even as it began to collapse with the election of 1800, until his untimely death (in a duel) in 1804.

Democratic-Republican Party.

The Founding Fathers disliked political parties, calling them "factions" motivated by self interest. Washington was so upset over the quarreling between Hamilton (Federalists) and Jefferson (anti-Federalists) that he devoted much of his Farewell Address to the evils of parties. The people who supported Hamilton and Adams were called Federalists (supporters of the Constitution) but they were not an organized political party. The first organized party in America was made up of the followers of Jefferson, who, starting in the 1790s, called themselves Republicans (or Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans). Hamilton and those who opposed Jefferson, kept the name Federalist. Jefferson's Republican Party has no ties to the current Republican Party. In fact, the current Democratic Party considers Jefferson and Andrew Jackson as the founders of their party.

It is a debate between Jefferson of the Democrats or Hamilton of the Federalists or today known as the Republicans. The majority would say Hamilton because he was very well spoken for his oppinions where as Jefferson was laid back and did not like confronation.
