The Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans emerged as separate political parties partly as a result of disagreement over how the nation should develop economically. This division stemmed from differing views on the role of the federal government, economic policies, and the interpretation of the Constitution. The Federalists, led by figures like Alexander Hamilton, favored a strong central government and a focus on commerce and industry, while the Democratic-Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson, advocated for agrarianism and a limited federal government.
