Alexander Hamilton, as a Federalist believes that the U.S. government should have a strong central government and a broad interpretation of the Constitution. “Constitutions should consist only of general provisions, the reason is that they must necessarily be permanent, and cannot calculate for the possible change of things”, a quote from Alexander Hamilton allows us to draw a conclusion that he believes the constitution should be written vaguely, so it is adaptive to fit the future.

Thomas Jefferson- one of the great American founding fathers with exquisite taste in architecture and French wine, but also known to hold a controversial set of ideas- fought frequently and strongly against the Federalists ideas before he achieved Presidency.

Those powers not specifically addressed in the Constitution would then be delegated to the state governments. This is to ensure that the federal government did not have too much power as they believe a country runs best under a form of self-government.

Classical conditioning is the experimental process of conditioning a subject of which is believed will produce an automatic response of recognition to (Holt et al, 2012, p.276). ‘The little Albert Experiment’ is an example of this, where a baby is introduced to fire, monkey, dog, rabbit and a white rat, on introduction to each of these a positive reaction is perceived.
