I have to write a DBQ comparing and contrasting Jefferson and Hamilton's views, and I'm not entirely sure how to start it off or what to separate my topics into...
Question:
Although Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were two great leaders in United States history, they both had very different views of government and of the economy. Using the information in the documents and your general knowledge of the two men, analyze the debates between them, their respective positions, that each represented regarding key issues.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
I put together a thesis just now, and any comments on it would be great, too.
Thesis:
Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, two extremely different individuals in ideology, tended to disagree with each others’ views of the government and economy.
