Issue: Financial Plan The new government of the United States found itself in financial strains. Some states still had large war debts which damage US credit in world standing. Furthermore, business complain about the availability of loans for development of industry. –Argument 1:Argument 1: The United States needs a firm financial plan to establish a strong economy and valid credit in the eyes of the rest of the world. The nation should assume any remaining state debts incurred during the Revolution. To pay for this the government should institute an new tax and a protective tariff. Finally, to help business grow, we should create a national bank to provide loans and help control the nation's financial dealings. We are one nation. These debts were incurred for the creation of this nation and we all should share the burden of repaying those debts. –Secretary of Treasury, Alexander Hamilton –Argument 2:Argument 2: What this nation needs is time to develop under the forces of natural development. The last thing we need is government intervention in our daily lives. The Secretary proposes assumption. Why should all be held responsible for the debts of a few. My home state has paid its debt, through fiscal responsibility and the money of our own people. Now our national government wants to make us pay more for the debts of others? The very idea reeks of tyranny. I thought we opposed aristocracy and monarchy. This is exactly what the anti-Federalists feared with the acceptance of this Constitution that creates a too powerful government. Remember the rights of the states, or forget your own. –Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson –Argument 3:Argument 3: Why do we even need to bother paying of the debts? Much of the debt is to foreign governments. Why not settle a small percentage of our debt owed to local men and businesses and forget the rest. Any political ill will shall soon be forgotten. Let us stand firmly on our own two feet before we worry about the rest of the world. –Representative from Georgia –Take No ActionTake No Action –Click on the Argument chosen by Congress and accepted by President

Alexander Hamilton’s Financial Plan To create strong financial status, the government has implemented Alexander Hamilton’s Financial Plan consisting of Four parts: the assumption of state debts, a tax on Whiskey, higher tariffs on imports, and the creation of the national bank. Despite controversy over the strength of the national government over states, the plan is successful in establishing a firm financial situation and a strong economy. Small farmers and the lower class carry the added burden of higher prices at market.

Plan of non-interference in economy The United States economy remains imbalanced as some states flourish as other struggle. American businesses struggle to grow due to competition from European imports. Small farmers and the lower classes enjoy reasonable comfort as goods remain cheap.

No Action/Refusal to Pay The U.S. economy remains weak as businesses struggle to compete with foreign goods and growth remains slow due to few new businesses. The fledgling government now faces threats from France for derelict debt. War could loom the horizon. All eyes are on America expecting this great experiment in democracy to fail.

Issue: First Political Parties Dating back to the debate over ratification of the Constitution, political opinion has been divided into two camps. The primary difference between the two groups has been how much power the National Government holds as opposed to how much power is retained by the states. Even after the ratification of the Constitution, these arguments remain in place. It seems that the formation of political parties are inevitable. –Argument 1Argument 1 “A system of political parties agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, and foments occasional riot and insurrection.” –President George Washington –Argument 2Argument 2 The fact of the matter is that the government needs to take a leadership role in policies of all manner. The government needs to be strong. The Federalists support a government that has the ability to act in the best interests of our nation. –Alexander Hamilton It is the government that is the enemy. States need to continue to function in their own best interests. No national government, no matter how just, can know the satisfy the needs and desires of so diverse a people. We shall not give up our rights and sovereignty of our states to government that will grow to uncontained size and power. It is the Republicans that will fight for state rights and smaller national government. –Thomas Jefferson –Take No ActionTake No Action

Washington’s Opinion Acting on the advice of the President, the government has outlawed political parties.

Two Party View In response to divisions in political opinion, a two party system has developed in the United States. While two main parties exist, the possibility of more parties is possible. The first two political parties are the Federalists, led by Alexander Hamilton and the Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson.
