:::::I'll add to that this thought; if Hamilton was one of the most conservative it stands to reason that Jefferson would have been one of the most liberal. They disagreed on nearly every issue. Personally, I think liberal and conservative are too fluid of terms to be applied historically in any way that attempts to connect it to a modern understanding. Hamilton believed in bigger federal government and primary control by the elite class, Jefferson believed in bigger state governments and equal control by all classes. But there are a lot of points that don't easily fit into modern political categories.

::::::And to add to that, the idea that Jefferson was more conservative than Hamilton doesn't work when A., he actually had completely inconsistent ideas with the Constitution (for example, he didn't want other states to secede from the union yet wanted Virginia to do so, and has proven to be a big government ogre), and B., he proceeded to defend the French Revolution and cheer for it even at a time when most of his colleagues distanced themselves (in fact, he actually wrote a letter where he supported the [[September Massacres]], of all things). If anything, Jefferson's the true founder of liberalism in America, not Andrew Jackson. [[User:Pokeria1|Pokeria1]] ([[User talk:Pokeria1|talk]]) 20:57, 21 October 2016 (EDT)
