Jeffersonian vs. Jacksonian
In my report I値l talk a little about both the Jeffersonian and Jacksonian democratic sides and then I値l compare the two. I値l start with the Jeffersonian view. When political alignments first emerged in George Washington's administration, opposing factions were led by Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. In the basic disagreement over the nature and functions of government and of society, the Jeffersonian advocated a society based on the small farmer; they opposed strong centralized government and were suspicious of urban commercial interests. Their ideals (opposed to those of the Federalist party) came to be known as Jeffersonian democracy, based in large part on faith in the virtue and ability of the common man and the limitation of the powers of the federal government. This group of anti-Federalists, who called themselves Republicans or Democratic Republicans (the name was not fixed as Democratic until 1828), supported many of the ideals of the French Revolution and opposed close relations with Great Britain.
