Extent: 293-318
Notes: Contends that political factions in first four congresses did not reflect pre-constitutional divisions of federalists and anti-feds nor was there any real party organization, mostly because of the absence of talented party leaders. Hamilton "lacked ability to lead men," and TJ would find his key issues only during the Adams administration.

Notes: A classic study. Final chapter focuses on "Jefferson's Economics and Politics" (415-67), and claims that TJ recognized the antagonism between capitalistic and agrarian interests and made the latter the peculiar concern of the Republican party. He claimed the Constitution as a Republican document, favored judicial control of legislation (until crossed by John Marshall), and came to espouse a wide suffrage free of property qualifications.
