Reading and answering: Descripition of the debate

1) Jefferson and Hamilton had very different point of views over the goverment and human nature, and two ways of interparting the Constitution. Jefferson favored a strict construction, or interpretation, of
the Constitution. As for Hamilton prefered a loose construction.

2) A political party is a group of people who seek to win elections and hold public office in order to control goverment policy and programs.

3) Despite Jhon Adams previous experinces in the goverment he lacked the prestige of George Washinton. As president Jhon Adams faced many difficult problems, for example the countries parties differences grew bigger and bigger. Another example is the threat of war aginst the French who were angry about Jay's Treaty with the British.

4) On March 4, 1801 Thomas Jefferson took oath of office. During his presidenty Jefferson had done many things to serve the nation. One of wich was called The Louisiana Purchase. Jefferson used the money and power of the nation very boldly. In 1803 Jefferson sent James Monroe to Paris to negotiate the purchase of New Orleans a port important to American farmers. Napoleon instead offered to sell all the Frech claim now know as Louisiana. Jefferson purchased that forgein land for $15 million of public funds, this purchase increased both the national debt and the sieze of the United States.
