Which issue most clearly divided Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party and Alexander Hamilton's Federalist Party? whether the government should take over Native American lands

whether federal or state governments should have more power

whether the nation should add states and territories

whether people should own slaves

Hey there! I’m happy to help!

The big beef between Jefferson and Hamilton was over whether or not there should be a national bank. There was never really a debate over native land amongst the parties at this time. There was no conflict over adding states or slavery until about a century later.

Therefore, the answer is B) whether federal or state governments should have more power (national bank or more state based/local banks)

I hope this helps!
