Jefferson wanted to spread the power, but Hamilton wanted to keep amongst a few elites. Jefferson feared tyranny, but Hamilton feared anarchy. Jefferson was free and creative, but Hamilton was neat and organized. Jefferson wore plainer clothes; Hamilton dressed more formally. Jefferson supported farming; Hamilton, manufacturing. Jefferson = strict construction; Hamilton = loose construction. The list goes on.

Why Washington became a capital?
It was designed by Pierre L'Enfant and became the capital in 1800 Alexander Hamilton wanted the federal government to assume the state's debts. The states argued that if the federal government took over the state debts, the people of states with few debts would have to pay taxes to service the larger debts of other states. Hamilton and his supporters made a bargain with the Virginians to pass the bill. The deal was to move the national capitol. The capitol had moved from New York to Philadelphia in 1790. But the Virginians wanted a new capital near them in the South. Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson agreed for the construction of a new capital on the banks of the Potomac River, which divided Virginia and Maryland. Here Washington himself would pick the spot. The government would move there by the beginning of the new century.
How did the us capital get where it is today?
George Washington chose the location based upon the site's accessibilty to the Potomac River and the fact that it had been agreed that the capital would be located in a southern state. That agreement had been worked out between Alexander hamilton and James Madison with Thomas Jefferson. Maryland and Virginia both ceded portions of their states to create the capital. Maryland gave the area north of the Potomac River and Virginia gave an area south of the Potomac. At first the capital had been a square, actually diamond shaped, but later on Virginia asked to have its portion back. Congress agreed and gave back the lower part of the capital.
