Why was Alexander Hamilton glad Thomas Jefferson did not go to the constitutional convention?

Alexander Hamilton was glad Thomas Jefferson did not attend the Constitutional Convention because he believed Jefferson's strong anti-federalist views could have undermined the formation of a strong central government. Hamilton, a proponent of a robust federal structure, feared that Jefferson's presence might have led to more emphasis on states' rights and less focus on national unity. Additionally, Hamilton saw Jefferson as a rival, and Jefferson's absence allowed Hamilton to push for his vision without significant opposition.


Why does Jefferson think the people at the constitutional convention are overeacting to Shays' Rebellion?

Thomas Jefferson believed that the people at the Constitutional Convention were overreacting to Shays' Rebellion because he viewed the uprising as a natural expression of discontent among the populace. He argued that such disturbances were a sign of a healthy democracy, where citizens were actively engaging in their rights to protest against perceived injustices. Jefferson also emphasized that a government should be responsive to the needs and grievances of its citizens, suggesting that fear of rebellion should not lead to the suppression of democratic principles. Ultimately, he saw the rebellion as an opportunity to address underlying issues rather than a threat to the republic.
