The American schism

There are two opposing views of what should America who for the minds and souls of Americans since competed Republic. This dichotomy defines two main political parties, and directs the majority of the political discourse in the United States. The two different philosophies are known generally as Hamiltonianism, after Alexander Hamilton, and Jeffersonianism., after Thomas Jefferson.

Alexander Hamilton was a, and he was he was an America very similar such as England, in the lower classes, who were superior judgments of the ruling class are subject to. At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, he recommended the election of a President (like a Senate) for life - essentially a King and a House of Lords. He recommended further State Governors are appointed by the Government. He was so persistent in his all-powerful federal government attitude, which disgusted removed his two fellow delegates from New York from the Convention, thus depriving him vote (the rules required that at least two delegates from any State, voices exist).

Jefferson, on the other hand, was a farmer, and he believed sincerely, that each man's fortunes rested in his own hands and were under the direction of his own intelligence and certain, and that he had his own decisions, without the help of self-proclaimed overseers of the God-given right.

The governance of the quantum mechanics and Jeffersonians styles are diametrically opposed. Quantum mechanics start from the assumption that they are superior, and it is their duty, by laws and regulations, to draw the life and fate by their subordinates; Jeffersonians from start from the assumption that they ask only men eagerly brought in the ruling position of their equals, and they randomly and evaluate the opinions and beliefs of their fellow citizens. Quantum mechanics believe that the Government commit a nobles realized for its citizens (the fact that commit nobles is a convenient way, voting is not necessary to buy, of course,); Jeffersonians believe that every man with the brain and two hands was born and that it is his task to do something with them. Ideas in the life of their fellow citizens believe quantum mechanics in massive Government (for their own good, of course) with resulting high taxation; Jeffersonians believe we have the less government we are way better, and that the citizens in a much better position to determine are the wisest use of their money as the Government.

The history of the United States of America was the story of the recurring influences of these two different philosophies, and one can evaluate slightly a little their impact by studying this story. Wilson, for example, a Hamiltonian, was which income tax has started and believed that "the US Constitution prevents, that the Government of the needs of the country by enumerating rights which may not violate the Government". His administration, which brought high taxes and reckless spending on the depression of the 1920th Harding and Coolidge Jeffersonians, the taxes and Government interference in the private sector were slashed. Their administrations presided over the roaring twenties, the most successful and innovative period in American history. Hoover was a Hamiltonian, which again introduced Wilson's policy of the Government of Largess and high taxes and was in the 1930's depression, which principles succeeded Roosevelt, applying Hamiltonian reach out to a debacle 13 year. Jimmy Carter's Hamiltonian policies has us as well in the recession in the late 1970s, with inflation amounting to 25% in the last two years of his four-year term. Ronald Reagan initiated control and expenditure cuts and deregulation, 1990 touching history (92 months) of the economic expansion in the U.S. from the longest period of peace until the tax increases it killed.

What also the philosophical benefits of Hamiltonianism can be, even the practical result economic recession and stagnation, always. During Hamiltonian policies to the recipients of government handouts can appeal, the resulting high taxation and Government competition with the private sector, stifled business and industry and stifled the production of wealth. Innovation, growth and prosperity spread always took place- and can only occur - loose controlled by Jeffersonians.
