Both Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson had many differentiating views on many different topics. During the time period when they had been living, America was just starting out as a country. It took many years for America to become a successful and powerful country, but during the time period when Hamilton and Jefferson had been alive, the country had yet to run smoothly and orderly. Since America had been just starting out as a country, many important decisions had to be made. Alexander Hamilton had been born on the island of St. Croix in the Caribbean, but at a young age a hurricane had struck the island, causing Hamilton to write a vivid description of the storm impressing anybody who read it.

“The kernel of truth in Hamilton’s distinction between personal and political criticism of burr resides here. In sense that is was an accurate statement of Hamilton’s assessment. Burr’s reputation as a notorious womanizer or as a lavish spender who always managed to stay one step ahead of his creditors did not trouble Hamilton.” The only thing that did worry Hamilton was the ominous fit between Burr’s political skills and the opportunities for mischief so clearly available in a nation whose laws and institutions were still congealing. “The problem with Hamilton’s distinction, however, was that the putative barrier between personal and political criticism, or private and public behavior, kept getting overwhelmed by real choices.” This was a crucial moment in developing America’s personality. Burr finally stepped up and did what was finest for the Nation. Hamilton’s personality was also essential for the hard situations. The personality difference was a huge significance, it made the founding fathers more substantial and have closer relationships with each

Jefferson, on the other hand, thought that everyone had the right to vote no matter how educated they were, he thought thta it was all peoples right. Which is probably the reason why so many ill-educated people sided with him. This cause many arguments to happen to the new nation and cause the new nation to split up into two different political parties. Furthermore, Hamilton did not have much faith in the people, and also thought that if people did not become educated, the economy would fall. Jefferson thought of the opposite, he thought that it was the people who should govern themselves and beleived that the people would know what is best for the whole country. These political parties might have made many fights among the new nation but we still held
