Answer 2

Alexander Hamilton, the Secretary of Treasury, wanted to focus on manufacture and trade. However, Thomas Jefferson aimed at developing trade and agriculture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hamilton and Jefferson had largely opposing viewpoints on the political spectrum in American politics in the 1780s and 1790s. Hamilton was a Federalist and he supported a strong central government and the industrial strength of the Northeastern states. He also advocated a strong central bank. Jefferson believed a strong central bank was unconstitutional and he was more in favor of state power than federal power. He represented the Southern states and the slave-owning landowners.
