Hamilton, as one of the leaders of the Federalist party, promoted the belief that Constitution was open to interpretation, thus the government had "unmentioned rights" to have additional powers, and also found necessary a strong national government. Jefferson strongly opposed to this way of thinking, which led him to be one of the founders of the Democratic-Republican party, a party that had a different view on how to lead a nation, including the conviction that the government should limit itself to what the Constitution says and nothing more.
