Why did Jefferson oppose hamiltons financial plan?

For one, they both hated each other, so that complicated things. But also, Jefferson was an anti-federalist, he believed that the powers of the federal government were limited to what explicitly stated in the constitution, and the Bank, which would give the federal government significant power over the economy, was a big no-no.


Should state government given more powers than central government?

According to the Bill of Rights, the States have as much power as the federal government, just over different things. Certain things are governed only by the states (marriage, education, etc) while other things can only be controlled by the federal government (coining money, going to war, etc). Hope this helps!

Did Thomas Jefferson and John Adams become enemies and then friends again?

Yes, sort of. Jefferson and Adams were friends, but they had different ideas about how the government should be run and whether the states or federal government should have more power. They became enemies when they were both active in politics. In 1796, Adams was elected President and Jefferson was elected Vice-President, even though they belonged to different political parties. In 1800, Jefferson was elected President and Adams was badly defeated. Adams tried to pack the Judicial Branch (courts) with judges who thought the same way he did. Jefferson got angry. Later, when they had both retired from politics, they began writing letters to each other and worked things out. Both men died on the same day, July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years after they signed the Declaration of Independence.
