EVERYTHING. Jefferson manipulated the ignorance of masses for his own benefit, despite his portrayal as a freedom loving democratic republican by many historians. Hamilton hated Jefferson's tactics and found them dishonest. He didn't believe in beguiling the public, and was not a great politition, but rather a great statesman. He did not value public opinion, and was not interested in seeking its approval. He saw the masses, not incorrectly, as ingnorant, uneducated creatures without much civilized reason or behavioral restraint. He looked to protect the rights of those who thought for themselves, took initiatives in society, and became leaders, without discrimination based on race, religion, wealth, and family. He, more than the slave owning Jefferson, was a protector of democracy- perhaps not a "true" democracy, but one that would allow people from all rings of society to excell in their choice of feild.

False. This was an example of loose construction and one of the first major uses of the "necessary and proper" or "Elastic Clause" of the Constitution.
In general, the views of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton on the application of the Constitution were quite different. In The Bank Debate, the Constitutionality of banks were argued. Jefferson believed in Strict Construction, meaning that if the Constitution didn't directly say something, then they couldn't do it, such as banks, which were not included in the Constitution. Alexander Hamilton, on the other hand, believed in Loose Construction, which meant that if the Constitution doesn't say they can't do something, they can. So to Hamilton, banks were Constitutional because they weren't mentioned in the Constitution; for Jefferson banks were unconstitutional for the same reason.

It's your interpretation of the constitution. The philosophy that allows narrow constitutional interpretation is called strict construction and the philosophy of broad constitutional interpretation is called loose construction. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison favored the strict constructions, and Alexander Hamilton favored the loose construction.
Is a view that the constitution should not be taken literally. This loose interpretation of the constitution would allow the Federal Government the rights that are not explicitly stated in the constitution. Alexander Hamilton supported this theory which allowed for a strong central government.
