Madison.For example:-What separated Hamilton’s vision from Jefferson’s?-Why were Southerners opposed to NYC being the capital of the new nation, and whywas Hamilton willing to give up having the capital in NYC?-Why were people so divided over friendliness towards France vs. friendliness vs. GreatBritain, and why did some think neutrality was the wisest course?-What significant conflicts internally in the new Republic did these differences lead to?-How did John Marshall’s Supreme Court become so important in the early 1800s (thecase of the midnight judges, “judicial review”….)?
