The conflict between President Tyler and the Whig leaders, like Henry Clay, arose because the Whig Party controlled Congress. The major conflict was that the Whig Party wanted to establish a national bank and Tyler did not support it.
The most important conflict took place over the issue of re-chartering the national bank. The Whigs had a goal of re-establishing the national bank ever since Jackson and the Democrats destroyed it. When the finally won the presidency and control of Congress, they passed a bill to do just that and Tyler vetoed it. Sparks flew- all bout one of Tyler's cabinet resigned and Tyler was expelled from the party.
Federalists, like Alexander Hamilton wanted to support England, wanted a strong powerful government, a national bank and a loose interpretation of the Coast. On the other hand, Democratic-Republicans disagreed. They wanted to support France, wanted a small federal government, no national bank and a strict interpretation of the Coast.
