The politicians are at it again. Everywhere you go, there's always someone talking about Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. It's going to be a close race, I can tell. Before you make a decision about who you're going to vote for, you should know who these men are and what they stand for. Our Democratic-Republican candidate is Thomas Jefferson, from Virginia. He is running with Aaron Burr. The Federalist candidate for this election is John Adams, from Massachusetts. His running mates are John Jay and Charles Pickney. This election has been a bitter battle filled with spite and malice. To the Democratic-Republicans, Adams is merely a tool for the wealthy, and wants to turn the executive branch into a British-style monarchy. The Federalists view Jefferson as a dangerous supporter of revolutionary France and an athiest bent on destroying organized religion.
How can a government build a unified nation out of a people with diverse interest and concerns? It takes someone with special talent to be able to accomplish this task. They have the daunting task of making decisions that will please two very different groups of people. Of course, the dominating political party will have a more biased view on the decisions that are made, and not everyone will be happy, but that's just how the system works.
