“The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ground.”-Sir Winston Churchill. Alexander Hamilton had great visions, but did he ask the people? Thomas Jefferson focused on equality for everyone, and surrounded himself with all kinds of people.

Generosity was top priority for Thomas Jefferson. He tried to help everyone he could, and would sacrifice so much for the greater good of others, like most people in society today.. Alexander wasn't even close to the current ideals in society. Of course, everyone can get road rage and be unruly, but we end up all fair to each other. Hamilton despised the less fortunate; even though, keep in mind, he was poor at a time as well. So, who was the more generous one?

The freedoms we have today are because of good old Thomas Jefferson. When he wrote the Declaration of Independence, he wanted everybody to have equal and ideal rights. What did Hamilton want? A government modeled after Britain that gave no power to the states which would end up having no say! Think about it, if Hamilton got his way, he could have taken our power just like Britain (which is why we fought back)!

Thomas Jefferson doubled our blooming country’s size from one of the world’s most powerful governments, not to mention for very cheap. You don’t hear about Hamilton’s achievements for America’s government while he was president. In my opinion, all he had were ideas that other people adopted.

Hamilton wanted to bend America’s rights and rules with a broad interpretation of the Constitution! Jefferson actually led using what the ink on the paper by a strict interpretation to be clear with the people he would eventually rule. Hamilton thought things were “close enough”. My vote goes to Jefferson, and so should yours.
