I believe that Thomas Jefferson left a more enduring future for America rather than Alexander Hamilton because of his government plan, social standers and his achievements.

Jefferson was very involved with the common people's lives. He wanted everyone to be able to vote for what they want and Hamilton wanted to raise the voting qualifications so that only very few could vote. He also believed that farmers were very important to the economy. Rights were very important for the people to have; Jefferson was the person who influenced James Madison to add the bill of rights to the constitution.

Jefferson wanted a democratic government and with a weaker central government and a stronger state government. While Hamilton wanted a stronger federal government and he wanted to model America's government like the British system. Thomas Jefferson wanted a strong interpretation on the constitution.

Jefferson was the writer on the Declaration of Independence. He also bought the Louisiana purchase from France which made America larger and opened up many opportunities. He left America with two ideas, freedom of religion and separation from church and state. Also he sent Louis and Clark on their expedition and that opened up trade routes and scientist discovered many plants and medicine opportunities.
