https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb So, overall, which man had a better policy regarding the role of the government: Hamilton or Jefferson? Answer the question by explaining at least two reasons why you chose one man or the other. en-us 2018-01-03 13:04:35 UTC 2018-01-03 19:49:33 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495074 Hamilton had a better policy with regards to the role of the gov't, as a loose interpretation of the Constitution would be important in future issues in the US (e.g. abortion, LGBT+ rights, the question of what extent should one have a right to bear arms); moreover, the importance of using the wealthier classes for decision-making would help to determine the very best decisions over those who have shown to have uneducated and/or ignorant decisions.]]> 2018-01-03 14:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495074 s730585 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495419 Jefferson thought of a better policy regarding the role of government because he kept the general people in mind when making decisions. He also did not put the wealthy/elite group above the law by believing in a strict interpretation of the Constitution; everyone is equal and must abide by the law type of thing while also keeping the power within the people. ]]> 2018-01-03 14:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495419 s730044 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495488 Thomas Jefferson had a better policy regarding the role of government because he believed that the common man was more important than the elite, which is true because without the common man the elite would have no one to work for them. Jefferson also believed that there should be a strict interpretation on the Constitution which is good because then no one can do things that are not exactly written in the Constitution.]]> 2018-01-03 14:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495488 s730658 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495612 Jefferson had the better policy regarding the role of the government because he wanted the the people/state to have more power in the government and he wanted strict interpretation so he will not what he can and can't do in the means of following the rules and so the rules can't be changed. ]]> 2018-01-03 14:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495612 s732526 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495662 Regarding the role of government, Jefferson had a better policy in my opinion. Jefferson wanted the power to rely on the people (democratic republicans). He wanted to give more to the common man instead of the wealthy. He also wanted to focus on equality, so power could be given to everyone in a certain way.]]> 2018-01-03 14:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495662 s730777 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495668 Jefferson had a strict interpretation on the Constitution, and he focused more on the rights of the states and people.]]> 2018-01-03 14:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495668 s730428 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495671 Jefferson had a better policy on the role of government as of how his ideas of strict interpretation on the Constitution and how common men were not incompetent in politics to where they could vote, gave the people of the states a fair and reasonable way to establish legislature and justice.These ideas of ultimately gave more power to the people and didn't discriminate people out of choosing the right path for their country. ]]> 2018-01-03 14:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495671 s730660 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495709 Jefferson had a better policy regarding the role of government. Jefferson had a better policy because it focused more on all the people instead of giving more power to wealthy/elite. He also focused on state rights which didn't give them basically a monarchy(again). Another reason is that he believed in strict interpretation which allowed for the government not to misuse their powers. Jefferson kept the common people in mind. ]]> 2018-01-03 14:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495709 s730259 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495793 Jefferson has a better policy because he seems to be more interested in the well being of the common people and their rights not only the those who are wealthy; his policy also also focused more on states rights.]]> 2018-01-03 14:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495793 s730507 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218495870 Jefferson had a better policy because the common man was the foundation of the government instead of the elite.

Jefferson maintained a better policy for the new government by keeping the people as whole in mind. Jefferson also believed that while the government did need a small amount of control, the power also needed to lie within the states in the form of self-government. ]]> 2018-01-03 14:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218496423 s730652 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218496475 Jefferson had the better policy because he wanted the common man to influence government, which allows for even more people effected by government decision to provide their ideas on how to change or improve the government. As well he was pro focus on the states rights and the people, the government should be to help the people who they have the control over, because the government impacts the people.]]> 2018-01-03 14:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218496475 s732285 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218496649 Hamilton had a better policy regarding the role of government most importantly with loose interpretation of the Constitution and a stronger federal government. With the loose interpretation of the Constitution it would allow for the future generations to change it as needed, the world and morals don't stay the same after hundreds of years and technology and the human ability changes greatly over years too. If the Constitution wasn't able to be changed then most likely a new document would have to be made making the government and the US able to change and make rules as the future progresses. With a stronger federal government it ensures that the government will be strong and can handle itself. When you focus on state rights and people's personal opinions, the person might not be well educated in the area that is being talked about or voted on. If someone isn't educated within that area, they usually form an opinion on the most popular thing or form an opinion from someone around them. ]]> 2018-01-03 14:24:00 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218496649 s732974 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218620656 2018-01-03 19:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218620656 s730505 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218620722 Jefferson had the better policy regarding the role of government because the common man was effected the most by the laws of the Constitution and with the strict interpretation of the Constitution it left some power to the states to decide what they wanted on certain things.]]> 2018-01-03 19:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218620722 s733010 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218620728 Jefferson had a better policy regarding the role of the government because he did not believe that the upper class should get to make the decisions just because they are wealthy. He stuck up for the common man. Also, he held all people, regardless of class status, to the constitution and did not believe it was right to tweak it to fit the situation. This eliminated any corruption. ]]> 2018-01-03 19:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218620728 s730659 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218620771 Jefferson's ideologies of how the government should be run to benefit not only one class of people but all classes allowed for the country to truly stray from the autocratic beliefs inflicted by Britain. By protecting the lower class citizens from the strong influences of the upper class with the power given to the states, a democracy was established which also helped in the reduction of the power of factions. Additionally, Jefferson's wanting to allow the states to have powers through his strict interpretation of the Constitution provided a balance between the division in classes; now, the common man had the ability to make decisions for himself -rather than the upper class deciding all things government -which in turn reduced rebellions based on the decisions of the rich and privileged and ultimately contributed to the prevention of a war similar to the American Revolution.]]> 2018-01-03 19:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218620771 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218620921 Hamilton had the better policy, even though common man had their best interests for the country you have to think of how the education system was back then. Many did not have a good enough education to where they could understand what would further the United States or hurt the country. Also, if the power was given all to the states and the people it would set up a type of anarchy to where anyone could do whatever they want and everyone has their own opinion, so what happens when everyone has arms and someone disagrees and shots go off. Too much power to people makes room for bad things to happen; also, if control was with the states and people, more separation would occur making room for more uprisings and less of a complete nation that comes together trying to work out problems that would benefit everyone. ]]> 2018-01-03 19:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218620921 s730421 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218620939 Hamilton had the better policy regarding the role of the government with a loose interpretation of the constitution would allow the people to express their ideas about issues freely and not have to be limited by the constitution.

Also, Jefferson wanted straight to the point, strict interpretation of the Constitution rather than a more loose interpretation as people could figure out a way to work around the interpretation of the Constitution to meet the requirements needed if the Constitution is taken loosely. ]]> 2018-01-03 19:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218621446 https://padlet.com/astrickland2/eb9owmjrgcgb/wish/218622911 Hamilton had a better policy because the common people were not educated enough to manage the federal government on their own.  Although there may have been some wealthy elites who were uneducated, it was more likely that they had the money and resources to get an education as opposed to the lower class who were not financially stable enough to fund their education. This lack of knowledge could be detrimental to the success of the country’s federal government.
