True or false one reason for the formation of the democratic republican party, was that Thomas Jefferson’s views clashed with those of Alexander Hamilton?

Answer 1

True. One reason for the formation of the Democratic-Republican Party was the clash of views between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. Jefferson, who served as Secretary of State under President George Washington, believed in a decentralized government, agrarianism, and strict interpretation of the Constitution. On the other hand, Hamilton, who served as the Secretary of the Treasury, advocated for a strong central government, industrialization, and loose interpretation of the Constitution. These opposing visions led to the formation of political factions, with Jefferson's supporters forming the Democratic-Republican Party in the late 18th century.
