XI.
yor many years after the rati-
-ficatlon of the Constitution states-
men and men of affairs were di-
vided as to the exact character of
the Government set up under it.
To one school of thought, of which
Thomas Jefferson was the fore
most exponent, the Constitution
was little more than a treaty be
'tween the sovereign states. In the
••yes of the other group, led by
Alexander Hamilton, it was the
foundation of a nation. Ultimately
the Hamiltonian point of view wa3
to become generally accepted, but
only after a long and bitter strug-
gle.
Hamilton, as secretary of the
treasury under President Washing-
ton, brought about the acceptance
by the owners of wealth of his
■viewpoint of Federal supremacy.
Under his leadership the new fed-
eral government assumed the debts
•of the states, thereby taking its
stand as something bigger and bet-
ter than the states. This was fol-
lowed by other bold and rapid
strokes of financial policy, all tend-
ing to the same end of national
supremacy. He established a tariff
•on imports, an excise tax and an
Internal revenue service and. as a
-crowning stroke, a national bank.
.It was Hamilton’s purpose to es-
tablish a government in which
-wealth should stand at the helm,
guiding and steadying the ship of
.stale. < i
Under the leadership of Thomas
- Jefferson, whose faith was in the
masses rather than in the classes,
the doctrine of states’ rights, as op-
posed to federal rights under the
•* Constitution, began to take shape
-and ns early as 1798 the General
^Assembly of Virginia adopted reso-
lutions protesting against the en-
-croachment upon state rights by
the Federal Government and as-
tht. growth of nationalism
stil ting the right of each state to
decide for itself the constitution
allty of Federal laws affecting the
state interests. In the same year
the new state of Kentucky adopted
similar resolutions. Kentucky went
further, and implied the right of
a state to withdraw from the Un-
ion.
Thus were sown the seeds of the
political parties which have strug-
gled against each other for 135
years for control of the Federal
Government. And the first impor-
tant amendment to the Constitu-
tion, after the Bill of Rights, was
one which recognized the existence
of the partisan spirit.
The twelfth amendment changed
the previous method of electing the
President to the method which is
still followed. Under the original
system, the candidate receiving the
largest number of electoral votes
became president and the one re-
ceiving the second largest number
became vice president. The effect
of that today, if it were still the
Constitutional rule would be that
Mr. Roosevelt wuld be president
and Mr. Hoover would be vice pres-
ident!
With the division of public senti-
ment into two drastically oppos-
ing camps such a situation was not
to be tolerated, so the Constitution
was amended in 1798 to provide for
the electors’ chosing both president
and vice president at the same time
with the further provision that the
president and vice president shall
not both be residents of the same
state, and that in case no candi-
date has a majority of electoral
votes, then the House of Represen -
tatives shall elect one of the three
leading candidates at its discretion.
Thus, on the eve of the 19th
century, the ne«r nation was not
only well launched upon its career
but was embarked upon the stormy
voyage of partisan politics.
