Beskrivelse

It began at the time of the Constitutional Convention. It continued throughout their lives as they served the country they loved and helped form. The philosophies of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton have been at the forefront of the American debate from the founding of the United States through the present day. It is a debate about whether the country should move in the direction of small government, or big government. It is a debate about the size of the government debt. It is a debate about whether the constitution should be interpreted strictly or loosely. It is a debate about whether the country should move to a pure free market system. Or should the country move to a system where the government works with the businesses it chooses to help promote the welfare of the country. This book will cover the issues that were debated by the Founding Fathers during the formation of the country. It will show that they are still at the center of the debates of today. It will also cover the events that shaped both their lives and the nation including... * The key differences between the Jefferson and Hamilton visions for the United States * What constitutional phrase did Thomas Jefferson believe would give Congress the power "to do whatever evil they please" if the Constitution was loosely interpreted? * What constitutional phrase Thomas Jefferson believed was the key to strict interpretation. * The birth of the small government/big government debate that rages on even today * The Hamilton Burr Duel *And much more... Learn what Jefferson and Hamilton believed and how their philosophies shaped not only the formation of the United States, but the very issues that are being debated in the nation today.
