Thomas Jefferson believed that the US should remain basically an agrarian nation with little manufacturing. We would trade with European nations for the industrial products we needed. He believed in States' Rights and that the purpose of the federal government was not to involve itself in the daily lives of the citizens, but to defend us from invasion and to insure the protection of the rights of the citizens from any kind of domestic turmoil. Alexander Hamilton favored a strong national government, one that took an active role in the daily affairs of the nation. He foresaw an industrial future for the US and created his Financial Plan with that in mind. He believed the national government should be supreme over state governments.
