| George Washington |
| For President |
|
|
Washington's refusal to run for a third term elevated the two main
factions of his administration to the forefront.
With factional interest came the formation of
political parties. Thomas Jefferson became the leader of the Agrarian decentralized government
version of government while Alexander Hamilton, Washington's Secretary
of the Treasury, led the merchant interests in advocating a more
centralized vision of government. |
