The intro to my essay:
In Washington’s farewell address, he forewarned the future generation about the severe splitting of views in American government. Above all people, he probably meant it most for two men, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. The struggle for balance between liberty and power pervaded throughout the Adams administration, and we still strive for it today. Development of political factions in early America was the biggest challenge, which also prevented greater things from being done. Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton fought over subjects of economy, power among the citizens, and the limits of government power, and this rivalry escalated to terrible distortions of each party’s intentions. If Hamilton and Jefferson had gotten together to discuss their interests, there wouldn’t be so much conflict, and they would have come to a conclusion sooner.
