The name of the party formed by Alexander Hamilton was the Federalist party. The five beliefs of the party were that there should be a strong national government, a fear of mob rule, a loose interpretation of the Constitution, wanted a national bank, and the economy was based upon manufacturing and shipping.
Alexander Hamilton and James Madisonedit: this is not correct. The Federalist Party was founded by Alexander Hamiltion and John Adams. (James Madison, best buddy of Thomas Jefferson, founded the Democratic-Republican Party)
Apparently our nation was formed by our Founding Fathers which include: Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton.[3]
The Federalist Party was formed by Alexander Hamilton in 1792. The second President of the United States, John Adams, was the country's only Federalist president.
In 1789, after George Washington was elected President on April 30, 1789, Congress created three cabinet positions. The first was Secretary of the Treasury which went to Alexander Hamilton. Next, the Secretary of War - Henry Knox. The Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson arrived back from Paris and joined the staff almost a year later. Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson had two very different visions for America. Each time President Washington had to chose on a significant issue he was convince to follow Hamilton's vision. After a while Jefferson got frustrated by that and asked to resign, which Washington granted. Jefferson then actively (via surrogates) fought many of Washington's policies. This is when the "Anti-Federalist" party formed with a variety of names over time. By default and policies Hamilton and Washington supported the Federalist programs.
Hamilton hoped to provide financial order, precedence, and clarity, for the new-found United States. He also hoped to develop country and overseas credit for the new nation. Last, but not least, Hamilton wanted to resolve the fiat currency issues.
The question is has the order of events backward. Alexander Hamilton was a founder of the Federalist Party, which preceded the Democratic-Republicans. Thomas Jefferson lead a group called the Anti-Federalists who opposed ratification of the Constitution and later became the Democratic-Republican Party. The Federalists were first; the Democratic-Republicans were formed to oppose the Federalists.
