Question
An 18th-century Democratic-Republican would most likely object to Alexander Hamilton's proposed plan for which of the following reasons?A.It limits states' ability to control their own economies.B.It unfairly redistributes wealth from the rich to the poor.C.It divides the country into competing factions.D.It allows the national government to go into debt.
Solution
An 18th-century Democratic-Republican would most likely object to Alexander Hamilton's proposed plan for the reason A. It limits states' ability to control their own economies.
Democratic-Republicans in the 18th century were strong proponents of states' rights and feared a strong central government. They believed that each state should have the power to control its own economy without interference from the federal government. Hamilton's plan, on the other hand, involved the federal government assuming state debts and establishing a national bank, which would significantly increase the power of the national government in economic affairs. This would be seen by Democratic-Republicans as limiting the states' ability to control their own economies.
