Henry Clay led the nationalistic Jeffersonian economic agenda. This agenda was known as the American System (Holt, 1999). It included high protective tariffs to nourish American manufacturing, create a home market for American agricultural products, a national bank to provide a currency and federal subsidization of internal improvement projects to ease the movement of goods (Holt, 1999). These nationalistic Jeffersons would eventually push through Congress and the current President at the time (President Madison) would sign laws that affected two parts of their program. The Federalist Party diminished after 1815 and many former Federalists embraced the Republican Party.
They opposed the Federalists so intensely because they thought Federalists were trying to reinstate the tyranny of the British. The Federalist ideal of empowering the government, which mostly consists of the elite, supposedly sought to oppress the common people and steal their prosperity. Republicans believed they had to remain vigilant at all times, lest the tyrannical Federal government encroach upon their liberties and destroy the purpose of the

Lecture 15 “Questions to Consider #1”: In what ways does the modern American economy resemble the plan set out in Hamilton’s three great reports?
The Federalist Party did not last and today 's Republican
Thomas Jefferson’s opinion of how the national government should be run, changed quite a bit over the course of his presidency. He started it off as a strict constructionist as he opposed the excise laws and his opposition to the Alien and Sedition acts. At some point he began to transform into a loose constructionist when he bought the louisiana purchase and he improved our navy to help fight the Barbary war. Somewhere during his presidency his views changed and it was most likely before he bought the Louisiana territory. Before Jefferson entered the presidential office he was a states rights supporter
After a fiercely fought revolution, the newly independent American nation struggled to establish a concrete government amidst an influx of opposing ideologies. Loosely tied together by the Articles of Confederation, the thirteen sovereign states were far from united. As growing schisms in American society became apparent, an array of esteemed, prominent American men united in 1787 to form the basis of the United States government: the Constitution. Among the most eminent members of this convention were Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson. These men, held to an almost godly stature, defined the future of the nation; but were their intentions as honest as they seemed?
Today’s America has evolved differently from the intention of a certain group of the founder’s. This essay takes the stance that America in 2017 is moving closer to the viewpoint of the Federalists, compared to the Republicans. First, one must analyze the two parties, then draw the conclusion with supportive facts. Lastly, the comparisons will be summarized and the differences will be minimized.
Another way the biases were shown was in the political cartoon (Doc.4) which shows Jefferson attempting to the destroy the constitution. The cartoon is expressing the fear that the federal government will gain too much power and overthrow the constitution, and as a result, giving the federal government much more power. The federal government possessed too much power and the American people were starting to notice, represented by the American eagle fighting Jefferson, attempting to stop him. The American people recognized that federal government possessed too much power, too much voice, and did not remember the basic freedoms which all men have, choosing instead to ignore them, allowing their personal biases to take
The American nation as forewarned by President Washington was not destined to have two fraction but with the two paths coming about it was inevitable and their came Alexander’s Hamilton who represented the Federalists and Thomas Jefferson leading the Democratic-republicans. The Federalists were mostly bankers, merchants, manufacturers, and bankers; they were well educated and were from the New England and part of the coast. The republican were uneducated and mostly shopkeepers, artisan, backcountry farmers from the interior regions. The federalist wanted a strong central government that would control faction; this group thought of the public as ignorant and incapable of governing themselves.
Both Federalists and Democratic-Republicans, have different opinions on how they want the Government to function. For example on page 292, Alexander Hamilton was representing the Federalists. Here are a few examples of what the Federalists had wanted, they wanted to rule by the Wealthy class, have a strong Federal Government, and want to have an Alliance with the British. There was also an issue with immigration because the immigrants had supported the ideals of the French Revolution, so the Federalists were not too excited about that. On the contrary, Thomas Jefferson was representing the Democratic- Republicans.
They wanted to create a relationship with France, focused on agriculture over commercialism, and free trade. Over time the Federalist party weakened while the Jeffersonian republicans evolved into the Democrats.
Jefferson wanted a nation in which the state and the federal government shared
The federalists saw this the opposite way and wanted the large republic and felt that a large republic was the true way to protect liberty. The important
Within the first chapter, Larson describes how Americans after the American Revolution were hesitant about changing ideas. The idea of federal powers and a new market economy scared the lives of many as they feared the corruption of these higher powers were imminent. The Americans held onto their free market economy with disbelief as they did not understand their own economy could be corrupted as well. In short, the Americans had to pick the lesser of two evils that would give them more liberty with the best chance it would not corrupt their market. The side that embraced the free market was the Democratic-Republicans were the others that opposed it was the Federalists.
i agree withe your analogy on what would america have done if Jefferson did not make the Louisiana purchase because as a country we still would have grown and eventually expanded western and to the south as well. Furthermore as far as your take on the republican simplicity not having to be congruent with the Louisiana purchase i disagree i believe that Jefferson saw that it fit the Republican simplicity perfectly and took his shot at making america fit
