In this episode of Frogmore Stew, Grace takes us back to where our two parties started and the influence of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton on America's political landscape. Jefferson's advocacy for states' rights, a laissez-faire economy, and individualism are contrasted with Hamilton's support for a strong federal government, regulation for the common good, and the belief in implied powers of the Constitution.
