Between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, it is in my opinion that Thomas Jefferson left the better and more enduring vision for America. He was a powerful advocate for the people, while Hamilton cared more for creating an economy. Hamilton may have created the backbone for the country, but Jefferson made the country possible. He also expanded the country with the Louisiana Purchase. In all, Jefferson had a better view on human rights, on how the government should be run, and who could vote.

In the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson stated that "...all men are created equal", and while he may have been a bit of a hypocrite in the fact that he himself owned slaves, he still helped free them in many states, and create rights for them, when the rest of the country was reluctant to give them. He was also wanted to keep their rights free of any government interference in case of tyranny, and wanted them protected by laws. He supported the people, and he was very down-to-earth, even though he came from a wealthy background. Hamilton, however, cared more for establishing a sound economy and National Bank then for the people, even though he himself was raised poor as dirt.

Jefferson believed that there should be a strict interpretation with the constitution, unlike Jefferson, who wanted a looser interpretation. Jefferson wrote that "all men had the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Jefferson wanted to protect the 'unalienable' rights of the people by law in case of tyranny. Hamilton wanted to restrict some of the human rights, the basic rights that we as humans, and citizens of the United States take for granted.

He believed in a more Democratic government, a government run by the people. He knew that the best government would be one in which the people made their own decisions, because who knows better than the people who actually live in the country? The wealthier classes might have a better education in politics and government, but they don't fact the same challenges and hardships that the ordinary man or woman might. Therefore, they are the only ones who are qualified to actually make those decisions for the well-being of the country.

He also wanted to lower the voting qualifications, which would allow more of the actual people to be able to vote, not just the rich and wealthy classes. If Hamilton had his way, only the richest would be able to vote, which wouldn't be very productive since they would only be voting in the interest of their money and the economy, most likely. The poorer farmers and merchants, however, know what changes would need to be made.

I support Jefferson, because he was for the people. He wanted them to be able to make their own decisions, not some wealthy politician. He supported their rights, and he wanted an economy that helped them.
