Republicans and federalist had very different views on the way the government should be run.

In document two Alexander Hamilton states that he thinks that Thomas Jefferson and James Madison are dangerous to the new government, that they have a "womanish attachment to France and a womanish resentment towards Great Britain."
Jefferson, on the other hand, had a different view about Hamilton.

The Federalist and the Republicans also had different views about how to interpret the
Constitution. The Federalist interpretation of the Constitution was that it was flexible and that the amendments or more guidelines and rules. The Republicans had a more strict interpretation of the Constitution. They thought that if you didn't follow the amendments you were not living the correct way.
