Well, Jefferson and Hamilton had opposing views of the government. Jefferson was a Democratic Republican. He supported ideas such as the involvement of the common people in government positions, strict interpretations of the constitution, and strong states' powers. However, Hamilton believed quite the opposite, supporting the idea that the government should be made up of the rich and educated, loose interpretations of the Constitution, and a strong, central government. Eventually, through their bickering, the political parties; Democratic Republicans and the Federalists were formed.

Hope this helps! :)
