Speculators generally lived in the north, so that would focus all the power and prestige in the north. Thomas Jefferson opposed this viewpoint as he was from the south. Alexander Hamilton was the man who came up with the plan. I know this because I have to write a huge essay on it right now. I'm actually procrastinating. Hope this helps.

John Locke was a huge influence on all of Thomas Jefferson's philosophical thoughts and ideals. If you research anything on Locke, you can see where many of Jefferson's ideas and such came from.

Locke's "Two Treatises of Government" is very significant.
