France Vs. France: The Original Political Parties In America

Jefferson thought that the constitution did not give the national government the power to establish the bank though, they wanted to fix the world 's national debt to make a safe place for fund, tax, and collections to be kept. The Federalists liked the way money was made in Great Britain, so they would start that in some states. The Federalist are the most qualified for presidency because they stay neutral in foreign affairs, have a strong government, and can fix the world 's national

At the end of the war, America won which resulted in the British not impressing the Americas and also Madison receiving more fame for taking a good risk. Overall when Madison was president he was able to stop the impressment of Americans and win the war of 1812. James Madison was a political figure who was the main writer of the constitution, Secretary of state, and the president. Without Madison, America would be much different than it is today. He was truly a gift from God when he led America to war with Britain and though the writing of the constitution.

Federalists supported Britain because they are America’s parent country. Britain also had a superior economic system than France did. Jefferson thought we should help the French because they helped us gain our independence from Britain and were convicted to liberty. The Federalists and Democratic - Republicans didn 't get along or agree. The Federalist Party was created by a man, who grew up poor and had to struggle to get to the top, named Alexander Hamilton.

Louis XIV valued power more than anything, and he wanted to increase his control over his subjects. He knew it would be more difficult to control people with religious differences, and he hoped that revoking the Edict of Nantes would end these divisions. The Great Elector valued economic prosperity--he welcomed the refugees because he knew they were a skilled and highly-educated group who would help increase the overall wealth of Prussia. Both Louis XIV and Peter the Great viewed war as extremely important--Peter the Great even mentions Louis XIV in his letter, describing his love of war, “glorious exploits” and what he considered great success. Their goals for war, as indicated in their two documents, appear to be different.

The French Revolution established abstract universalistic principles based on a responsibility to human rights, while the Americans preferred to focus on immediate problem-solving and rights (to land they took from the natives.) The French are more conservative in this sense, since the decisions they take are still informed by a single common vision for the long-term good. While France’s focus has not changed, America’s destiny is now shaped by anonymous market forces, public relations specialists, lobbyists, investors, a vastly richer, more influential corporate overclass directly implicated in politics,

In the 1790s two major parties dominated the political scene. Those parties were people who sided with Alexander Hamilton, known as “Federalists” while the people who supported Thomas Jefferson were the “Anti-Federalists”. During the conclusion of the table, it was quite evident that the Anti-Federalists were considered to be more liberal, or in a broader sense, Democratic than the other party at the time. This can be inferred through the notion that they supported France throughout the French Revolution because they hated Britain because they once controlled everything they did; while on the contrary, the Federalists, which consisted of mostly business people, supported Britain due to their importance in trades. They also were against the

I would imagine that the idea of an independent American was not an easy idea for many to stand by. Many would have probably thought that it was an effort that was not worth the risks, that fighting the kingdom of Britain would bring too heavy a cost. But of course, there were those with enough courage to speak openly about their feelings on their country 's situation. Patrick Henry seemed like a man that was willing to do whatever it took to gain independence. Henry’s letter made me proud to be an American, and to know that these men and women were coming together to fight for a better future.

The British thought they were better, more educated and more proper than the colonists. In George Washington’s letter to Robert Orme he showed they were equal to the British. (Doc C) In this letter he wrote in a high class, well-educated, proper manner. The colonists always thought of themselves as equals to the British, even after the war they wanted and were proud to be British, but they did want to distance themselves from them. (Doc E) Even though they wanted to be British they did not want the British to have so much control over them.

Some have labeled Jefferson’s actions Machiavellian. However, Machiavelli constrained the ruler’s behavior only by political necessity, separating the ruler from conventional Christian virtues. This may be the rare occasion, where Christian values and Machiavellianism can come together for a common purpose. Jefferson anguished over the decision to purchase the Louisiana Territory without a constitutional amendment, and decided it was in the best economic, political, and national security interests of the nation to proceed. Most historians agree with his conclusion; the benefits of purchasing the Louisiana Territory outweighed the cost to his strict constructionist principles.

Confederate president Jefferson Davis’s previous career as secretary of war qualified him for running the Confederacy, but some of his characteristics hindered his leadership ability. He was extremely smart but interacted awkwardly with people. He often associated compromise with weakness and differing opinions as personal attacks. In contrast to Davis, Abraham Lincoln won the support of his people by “persevering the importance of the Union”. He also created support in his speeches where he used pathos to create an emotional connection to his people by referring to “the family man”.

Jefferson loved liberty in every form and he worked for freedom of speech, press, religion, and civil liberties. Jefferson swore "eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the minds of man." "Jeffersonian Democracy" refers to the ideal that the majority of people must govern themselves. He wanted to keep the government simple and free of waste. The downsides of Jefferson came from his other beliefs- he claimed he believed in small government spending, but he bought the “Louisiana Purchase”- which was actually a great thing for the United States, yet it was a big government purchase.

Some of the colonists were not fully convinced to break away from the home land due to fears of chaos breaking out in the colonies and a sense of pride of being part of Britain. The Declaration of Independence was a global inspiration to various movements and declarations modeled after Jefferson’s words about the people’s rights and liberties. The war for Independence was not an easy feat, The British army was well trained and supplied but the British misjudged the support the American colonies had for their independence. Additionally, with the help and support of France, the American colonies won the decisive campaign at Yorktown and peace negotiations soon

Opposed to the Federalists who wanted strong central government to promote commerce and manufacturing, including a national bank. They tended to be suspicious of democracy. They also Support England in its wars with France. Their support came especially from urban areas, business, and upper classes. They were also strongest in New England and coastal towns.

The Culture and Conflicts of France France and The United States of America have been allies since the American Revolution when France eagerly joined the Colonists in the fight for Independence against Great Britain. As a result of this close alliance, many people were surprised when France did not support the United States militarily in the War on Terror. France and the French people did not believe it was their place to support the United States and become involved in a war they did not believe would eventually involve them. The French have a long and rich history which includes their religious background, many major conflicts with various Nations, and their ability to survive these conflicts. The ability to survive these conflicts have become ingrained in the culture of France.

Washington’s intentions were to avoid a war, rather than creating any disruptions. His decisions proved to be the right ones, and he was able to get on Britain’s good side due to this treaty. This treaty was highly controversial due to the fact that Britain was an old enemy, and they were siding with them. Washington favored Britain in hopes that doing so would cause them to help them out in the future. Jefferson and Madison were not too happy about this because he genuinely wanted the people to be involved instead of being kept in the dark.
