World War One Historiography
"Arrange the historians for a dinner party: no arguments allowed!"
Jefferson believed that the economy would prosperous if it was based on agriculture.
He believed that the federal government shouldn't be given as much power and the constitution should be strictly interpreted so that the federal government doesn't have "implied powers"
National Bank: He was strictly opposed to this proposition by Hamilton and also thought that only the national debt, not the states' debt, should be paid.
Jefferson was for the French, because they provided help during the American revolution. He thought that siding with Britain was another way of turning the government into a monarchy.
He believed that for the nation to be successful, it was important to orient their goals towards westward expansion. This would lead to more agriculture and free trade, and consequently, more freedom.
