Jefferson knew that American farmers needed more land, and he had to go against his belief of a strict constitution. However during the same time the Federalists became strict constructionists of the constitution. They argued that this transfer of land was unconstitutional. The Federalists said that this new land was worthless and would only put the country even more in debt. Their main reason for that was that the creation of new states would decrease their power in congress.
However, some people, such as Jefferson and small farmers opposed his ideas, because they believed in states' rights and a strict interpretation of the constitution, which led to the split of two different political parties. Before Hamilton's plan, America was having financial problems. There were war debts that were unpaid and individual states and even Congress issued worthless paper money. Hamilton created a plan that would first pay down the national debt and then assume the debt of the states. This was called the Assumption Plan.
With the formation of a government, the ways of a centralized government is supposed to be revolved around the importance of the people’s ideas and say in the government. But sometimes these demands and proper goals aren’t initiated by the government thus leading to great anarchy. Alexander Hamilton was able to completely deface the recognition of the human population by sending them in a great scandal. This scandal
The fact that the new laws were passing allowing taxes to occur was frightening to Dickenson. He believes that they should do whatever it takes for America to pay the taxes. He thinks it is wrong that they are getting away with not paying. He believes sitting back and not doing anything is counter productive to the cause. Dickenson and Franklin are on opposite sides.
At the start of his second term of presidency, Jackson vetoed the charter of the second bank. In his veto statement he justified his reasoning as claiming the bank to be favoring the wealthy and not supportive of the rights of the common man. He also declared the recharter unconstitutional, saying that the federal government did not have the authority to establish an institution that would not equally benefit citizens. The bank veto can be seen as one of the most democratic measures Andrew Jackson took during his presidency to enstill the idea of himself as a representative of all people. The veto is important because it decentralized the bank system but because it is an example of challenging the constitution and the president’s ability to veto, which concentrates more power in the executive branch fo the government so that there is limited influence by the elite and
President Andrew Jackson was democratic in many ways; he was a supporter of the common man and he believed that the people should have control over offices, whether elected or appointed (Document D). However, Jackson was often pictured as a king, rather than a president (Document E), he trusted many people whom he shouldn’t have trusted (Document I), and he forced indians to move further west and out of the lands they called their home (Document J). Therefore, while Jackson was for the most part a democratic person for Americans, who favored the common man; he also resembled a ruler by doing things such as removing indians from their lands just because of their race. Jackson was the seventh president of the United States, his presidencies took place in 1828 through 1832 and 1832 through 1836. He is often thought of as one of the most popular presidents.
Nicholas Baker Nature, Society and Self 09/25/2010 Summarize and Contrast In Thoreau’s essay “Civil Disobedience,” written in 1849, he explains that the real meaning of this is “disobedience of the state.” He feels that any person associated with the law is a disgrace. Much like the tax payers of Concord who care more about farming and agriculture then humanity are hypocrites for supporting Thoreau’s cause to ban slavery and stop the war against Mexico, when in fact they pay taxes to the state and government which directly helps pay for the war itself. He feels that the government is also responsible for many injustices because many government employees in fact change their positions on war and that it is “not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize.” Thoreau explains that many people who do not support these laws also believe in the political way to change them, and continue to respect these laws until they are changed. He feels that the process of which is drawn out and that it may take years for laws to be changed, and that abolitionists should stand up for what they believe in and rebel against the constitution regardless of imprisonment. Thoreau was imprisoned after refusing to pay taxes, and says he felt free when he was jailed.
It is correct that he supported the American Revolution, which nearly bankrupted him- but without his support, America may not have won Her independence. When he ascended the throne, Louis inherited a country in terrible debt. The people of France also deeply resented his grandfather and the nobility who were seen as despots. So he started out on a bad foot. Men named Turgot and Malesherbes

The most widely area of criticism that Lincoln received was his use of unconventional and sometimes illegal methods in order to achieve his goals. Lincoln justified ignoring the process of going through congress to make such decisions in that he felt the war needed immediate and direct decisions and did not have time to go through the process for congress’ approval. The criticism appears to be fair as they come from a variety of different groups from the democrats and Lincoln’s unjust ways of handling the war as well as his own party, the Republicans for his handling of the south. In assessment of Abraham Lincoln’s tenure as president and handling of the civil war tragedy, it can be determined that although heavily criticized by his peers the civil war would not have been the “civil war” without him. The inevitability of the civil war came to light when Lincoln was elected President and indirectly caused the civil war to start.
