Answer:

Jefferson was an Anti-Federalist and Hamilton was a Federalist

Step-by-step explanation:

Jefferson believed in state's rights, a weak national government, and laissez-faire economics, and Hamilton believed in a strong federal government that would have an active role in helping the economy.
