As a High Federalist, Hamilton was in support of an alliance with Great Britain, while Jeffersonians typically supported an alliance with the French. Hamilton reasoning was America's tie to G.B- as the United States' mother country, Hamilton concluded this relationship was reason enough. At that time, too, G.B was much more economically stable than many other countries, especially France as it came out of the Seven Years' War with nothing but a small sugar island.

Asked by Wiki User

First of all Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton had two very different views on many things. Thomas Jefferson was a republican, the majority of republicans and republican supporters weren't that wealthy. Alexander Hamilton was a federalist and believed wealthy educated people should lead the count. So naturally they would be divided on almost everything. No surprise here but Thomas Jefferson thought the National bank was unconstitutional. Hamilton thought the bank would benefit the country and it was a part of his financial plan.
