Question

Where are the federalists or the Democratic Republicans led by Alexander Hamilton?

Answer 1

The Federalists, led by Alexander Hamilton, were primarily based in the northern states, such as New York, New England, and parts of New Jersey. They represented the interests of the urban commercial and financial elite. On the other hand, the Democratic-Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson, were predominantly supported in the southern states and parts of the western frontier. They had a broader base of support among farmers, rural populations, and those suspicious of centralized power.
