Why was thomas Jefferson against Hamilton's plan for a national bank?
because he was black I think it's fair to ignore the first answerer. There's no real reason that I'm aware of except that they simply disagreed about nearly everything. 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.

What compromise did Jefferson and Hamilton Thomas Jefferson and James Madison reach regarding repayment of state debts?
It actually wasn't the repayment of state debts but the assumption of state debts. In 1790, Alexander Hamilton was the Secretary of the Treasury, Thomas Jefferson Secretary of State, and James Madison a Representative. Congress asked Hamilton for a plan to fix the economic system, and in the span of roughly 3 months Hamilton came out with the first Report on Public Credit, which advocated for the assumption of state debts. Hamilton argued that increasing the government's responsibility increases its authority. James Madison and Thomas Jefferson were horrified, and Madison set to work on not passing the bill, at least not the assumption. The other issue plaguing Congress was where to put the capital. In 1790 it was located in New York, which really wasn't a very good place to put it. Arguments rose. Madison and Jefferson favored Philadelphia as the temp capital and a site on the Potomac River as the permanent site. Alexander Hamilton, who wielded immense influence with Washington, however, wouldn't give in and desperately wanted the capital to remain in New York. Jefferson invited Hamilton and Madison to dinner and a compromise was made over the 2 issues. Hamilton would advocate for Philadelphia/Potomac for the capital; he figured that the capital would probably just end up there anyways. In return, Madison would not openly oppose Hamilton's assumption plan in the House, although he would not vote for it, and Jefferson would not try to sway Washington either way. The compromise was a very good one and history still remembers it, but at the time Hamilton would regret passing up the chance for New York to become another London (although it would) and Jefferson and Madison would regret letting the assumption pass as it made the government more powerful (which was Hamilton's goal as the Federalist party leader).

How did Jefferson and Hamilton become enemies?
AnswerWhen it came to Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, things started out amicably enough, but it went downhill from there. They were different in every possible way, from their beginnings (Jefferson the son of an aristocratic planter, Hamilton the illegitimate immigrant) to their ends (Jefferson died at 83 of natural causes, Hamilton at 49 of a gunshot wound), their personalities (Jefferson was laconic and avoided conflict, Hamilton was volatile and thrived on it), but most importantly their beliefs. Jefferson believed in a weak central government, and was very suspicious of those in high government positions. He was an optimist by nature and believed that people could govern themselves. Hamilton's beliefs did not "mesh" with his. Hamilton believed in a strong central government and was suspicious of the masses, believing the only way to govern them was by force. Hamilton, in contrast, saw things through a dark filter and was much more pessimistic. They thought the other an intriguer, and thought that if the other's beliefs controlled the government the government would collapse.In addition, Hamilton's department, the Treasury, was becoming the most influential department and sported a large amount of clerks and others working there. Jefferson's department, State, had few if any clerks by contrast. Jefferson thought that Hamilton, who wasn't even from the colonies, was trying to control the government. It was a thought that horrified him. Hamilton thought that Jefferson controlling the government would be a nightmare with no order whatsoever. This led to more animosity.Lastly they had different visions of what they wanted the country to become. Hamilton wanted the country to focus more on manufacturing and have a diversified economy, Jefferson wanted it to stay in the country and continue with the quaint country lifestyle.In short, they hated each other because their beliefs were so different and there was so much mutual hatred between them because of it. Both were brilliant, both would influence the country, and both would be remembered in history (in varying degrees, that is), but they could not and would not work together.Whoa, that is one long answer. I didn't even realize it.
