Answer:

When it came to foreign policy, the Federalists believed that America should favor Britain while the Democratic -Republicans wanted to favor France. In reaction to the French Revolution, Washington and the Federalists thought that the revolution had turned into anarchy and supported Britain when it declared war on France. By doing this, they believed that order would be restored in Europe. Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans thought that the violence was a temporary mistake and saw France as a partner in democracy. They also wanted to help France fight against Britain as France had helped America. A domestic issue these two parties disagreed on was the Whiskey tax and rebellion. The Federalists thought that the tax would be a good way to pay off federal debts but many people, included the Democratic-Republicans, saw it as tyranny and felt that the tax gave the government too much power. After the rebellion, Hamilton and Federalists were happy with the outcome and argued the military should be used to stop resistance to taxes. Jefferson and Democratic-Republicans were unpleased with the outcome and thought the federal government had gone too far and that the Federalists had abused the government’s powers.
