Two competing political philosophies have always existed throughout the United States’ relatively short history: one seeking to increase the power of the central government, and one seeking to decrease it. During the 1800s, these two conflicting philosophies emerged in confrontations between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. Thomas Jefferson promoted escalating the common man’s role in government. Alexander Hamilton, however, advocated the significance of a sturdy central government in leading the country forward. Both Thomas Jefferson’s and Andrew Hamilton’s beliefs and views helped to shape the United States into the country it is today.
Since the times of our founding fathers there is a general consensus that our government has slowly evolved in the pro federalist direction. However it has been a tug of war battle with both sides gaining and losing power. Evolution Landmark Events and Arguments The pro evolution Federalists and Democrats would argue that our nation needs a strong centralized government to deal with the issues we face. Also argued is that states are far too fragmented and different ideologically to be constantly consulted on all the issues we must overcome. The founders saw this issue first hand when trying to raise an army to fight the revolution.
Mac Martin Anthropology Freiwald King Richard. In 1452, King Richard III was born the youngest son to Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York, and Cecily Neville. He was born with a severely deformed spine and because of his physical liabilities, and order of birth he was never expected to amount to much. At a young age his family engaged in a war, which would later be known as the War of Roses. This war pitted Richard’s family with another prominent English family, the Lancasters, in a battle for the British Crown.
Caterina Maria Romula de Medici was born on April 13, 1519. Lorenzo II de Medici, Duke of Urbino,*[1] died six days after her birth from syphilis and tuberculosis. Her mother, Madeleine de La Tour d’Auvergne, the daughter of a royal princess, passed away of complications 15 days after her birth. Orphaned, but quite valuable due to her royal blood and inheritance, Catherine was a central figure for control of the papacy and the throne. The Medici’s through careful marriage matches and taking control of the financial banking[2], rose to power as papal bankers after the Black Plague in 1348-49.
Society is everything constructive and good that people join together to accomplish. Government, on the other hand, is an institution whose sole purpose is to protect us from our own mistakes. Government has its origins in the evil of man and is therefore a necessary evil at best. The government's sole purpose is to protect life, liberty and property, but the people will prefer to be responsible for the creation of the laws that rule them. The British system is too complex and harmful, and that the monarchy is granted far too much power.
When facing the decision to secure the throne, it is highly possible that Richard III’s decisions were based upon past experiences. He was a child of the Wars of the Roses. When he was only six both his father and brother, Edmund, had been killed in battle and he was on his way into exile. Richard saw that nobody could trust anyone, particularly close relatives. His own brother, Clarence, and Warwick had overthrown Edward IV.

I believe the most important conflict between Hamilton and Jefferson is the issue on the interpretation of the Constitution and whether the state government or national government should hold more power. Hamilton believed in a strong central/national government while Jefferson supported the power of the states. Hamilton concluded that a national government was beneficial for the country because in his opinion the only people who were fit to govern a nation are aristocrats, landowners, and the well educated. As you can see, Hamilton’s views on the Constitution were loose. “If the end be clearly comprehended within any of of the specified powers, and if the measure have an obvious relation to that end, and is not forbidden by an particular provision of the Constitution, it may safely be deemed to come within the compass of the national authority.” (Document G).
This is no more evident than in 1801 when they have a disagreement and the King dismisses Pitt. Although the support from the King is arguably the most important factor to Pitt’s success there were many other reasons as well. One of these factors is the Patronage System. The Patronage System was about jobs. Patronage was the Kings ability to appoint public officials and to dispense other government favours.
