Comparing Jeffersonians and Hamiltonians
The Washington administration was the first to bring together in the
cabinet of the United States, the Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and the
Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton. Jefferson and Hamilton began to
take different views when the government began to address the issue of the
old war debts and the worthless paper money left over from the days of the
Confederation. Hamilton suggested that the government should create the
Bank of the United States, which would be a public-private partnership with
both government and private investors. The Bank of the United States was to
handle the government’s banking needs. Jefferson protested because this was
not allowed by the Constitution. Hamilton opposed the view of Jefferson and
stated that the Constitution’s writers could not have predicted the need of
a bank for the United States. Hamilton said that the right to create the Bank
of the United States was stated in the “elastic” or the “necessary and
proper” clause in which the Constitution gave the government the power to
pass laws that were necessary for the welfare of the nation. “ This began the
argument between the “strict constructionists” (Jefferson) who believed in
the strict interpretation of the Constitution by not going an inch beyond
its clearly expressed provisions, and the “loose constructionists”
(Hamilton) who wished to reason out all sorts of implications from what it
said”. Hamilton and Jefferson began to disagree more and more. Hamilton wrote
nasty anonymous articles in John Fenno’s Gazette of the United States and
Jefferson responded to him in Philip Freneau’s National Gazette. Jefferson’s
Notes of the State of Virginia in 1787 stated that rural life was beneficial
to the government because cities and other areas of large population created
poverty, disease, and corruption. Jefferson believed that the small farmers
where the backbone of the United States. While in the Report on Manufactures
of 1791,Hamilton stated that the government should be used to develop cities,
industries, and trade Hamilton believed that “government's function is to
maintain order in a potentially chaotic society. It needs to be remote and
secure from the people's emotional uprisings”.Jefferson believed the
government “needs to be limited in its powers and completely responsive to
the needs and desires of the people”.Hamilton was strongest among merchants
in the cities and throughout New England while Jefferson was strongest among
artisans in the cities and throughout the South.
"It would swallow up all the delegated powers [of the states], and reduce the whole to one power. "-Jefferson referring to the Bank. He was strongly against big government and felt it would oppress the common man. "I am not a friend of a very energetic government.it places the governors indeed more at their ease, at the expense of the people." Jefferson was also a strong supporter of the Bill of Rights, which protected the rights of the people.
However, the hardships and misfortunes of other groups of women due to race, religion, sexual orientation, etc are not often mentioned because feminism has a widespread message and definition worldwide. In the United States, black women or any women with darker skin complexions were treated inhumanely and did not, also still today did not benefit from white privilege. As explained, referring back to the era of slavery up until the American Revolution black enslaved women were mistreated due to the color of their skin and they were without a voice because of their lack of power in a society where man had more power over women and blacks were overpowered by those with lighter skin. Overall, it is important to note and realize that all women were subjected to unequal treatment due to many variables, but some women more than others because of certain variables as
The post-revolutionary war period of the Unites States saw the establishment of the first party system and an enlarging gap in viewpoints between the wealthy and the common man. The contradictory views of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were primarily responsible for the rise of political parties from 1783-1800.
One such issue was that of the National debt and creating a National Bank. In 1790, Alexander Hamilton proposed that Congress should establish a national bank, in which private investors could buy stock, could print paper money, and keep government finances safe. Washington signed the bill establishing a national bank and started a strong foundation for a thriving economy and a stable currency.
Women had a role in the forming of our country that many historians overlook. In the years leading to the revolution and after women were political activists. During the war, women took care of the home front. Some poor women followed the army and assisted to the troops. They acted as cooks, laundresses and nurses. There were even soldiers and spies that were women. After the revolution, women advocated for higher education. In the early 1800’s women aided in the increase of factories, and the changing of American society. Women in America were an important and active part of achieving independence and the framing of American life over the years.

After the first War for Independence, The United States was approximately $52 million in debt. Due to having such bad financial problems, the United States created a national Bank to create one unified currency, to take away all state debts, and to issue loans to the people to promote growth. This National Bank was created by Alexander Hamilton who was a Federalist, and once Jefferson came to be the President, he continued the idea of the national bank because it was helping to reduce the national debt. The primary reason for the National Bank being a representation of a Federalist idea was because since it was issuing loans to people it was able to promote industrial growth which was one of the main goals of the Federalist party. From Jefferson continuing the use of the National Bank thru his presidency he demonstrates his need to continue a loose constructionist idea.
Vampires have been viewed with fear and fascination for centuries. Of all the vampires in literature, Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula is probably the most prominent vampire. Recently, there has been an upsurge of public interest in socially acceptable vampires, like the Cullens in the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. This essay will contrast Stoker’s Dracula with Carlisle Cullen, one of the newer vampires from the Twilight series. They will be examined in terms of their origins and how they dealt with immortality.

This is what our president and leader, Andrew Jackson, said regarding the Second Bank of the United States. I believe this is an insult to all people, rich and poor. He hath violated indeed violated the separation of powers in his actions to destroy the Bank of the United States. He, and not I, sparked the Bank War with his criticism. With great urging from fellow member Henry Clay, I applied for the Bank’s re-charter in January of 1832. As many know, this was four years the original charter was supposed to expire. With our second charter, the goal was to make President Jackson look unwise in his decisions and unpopular during election year in 1837. But behold! The President vetoed the bill. And what could I do? Nothing! Our plan of blackening Andrew Jackson’s name failed, as he was reelected again, beating Clay, whom I had supported greatly through the Bank.
When the vampire came about the thought of the monsters themselves were terrifying, and to view one they were ghostly pale with dark sunken eyes, large nose similar to that of the stereotypical witch, pointed ears like an elf and dark hair usually dark brown if not black. The original folklore on vampires showed a terrifying creature that you would know if you would see it out and about during the night. Today’s films and novels want to present you with an attractive vampire, like dying and becoming an immortal being is something a human would want to do because they would become more attractive. But also in today’s depiction of the vampire they have no obvious tells that a person is a vampire until they get angry and the fangs elongate. The idea of the vampire has shifted so drastically over the course of time, from fear to an admiration of a creature that could kill you in seconds. In the popular culture of today, the vampire is something attractive that girls pine after and want to be since there are a multitude of romance novels printed today with the male leads being portrayed as a

Comparing the vampires’ eating habits, sleeping habits, reaction to sunlight and professions clearly shows that a couple of hundred years ago stories about vampires were intended to shock people. The vampires were monsters you could best stay away from. Nowadays stories about vampires still have a little shock effect but the vampires are portrayed as creatures with a large amount of human characteristics. Therefore the vampire has evolved from ferocious villain to a wanted lover.
