For twelve years, control of the new government remains firmly in the hands of the Federalists, but gaining strength in the 1790s is a group that favors a more modest central government. Both points of view are represented in Washington's cabinet. Alexander Hamilton, an avowed Federalist, has an elaborate economic plan to build the resources of the nation. Thomas Jefferson is suspicious of a strong central government. The two sides argue over the concept of a national bank, the national debt issue, the permanent location for a capitol, even the French Revolution. Washington is the unifying force, but after eight years as president, he announces his intention to leave public office.
