Wow that is a BIG question.  Could you be more specific about what you are looking for.  Remember the homework haven is for folks to get a little help on homework not to get others to do it for you.  :winkgrin:

How about you start by telling us what you think you already know about the ideas Hamilton and Jefferson had?  One of them was in favor of founding a national bank and one of them was not...do you know which?

Yes, indeed, this looks like more of an essay question than a one-sentence answer of the "Jefferson liked banks and Hamilton didn't" (if that is the right way round - check it!) type. Lots of research will be needed, I'd take a look at some books from the list below if you can get hold of them:

Markham, Jerry (2001), A Financial History of the United States, ISBN 0765607301.
Jefferson, Thomas, The Writings of Thomas Jefferson. http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/21002 (look in Volume 3).
Nettels, Curtis P. (1962). The Emergence of a National Economy, 1775–1815. New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston.

Cunningham, Noble E., Jefferson vs. Hamilton: Confrontations that Shaped a Nation. 2000.

And of course there are other books, go look for them in any decent library.

Yeah Im preparing for the AP exam that I am having in May( If I get a 4 or better I'll get college credit) this will most likely be one of the extended responses on the exam.

Well in that case you have a lot of reading to do and I'm certainly too busy to prepare a full answer for you - not to mention it being out of my area of expertise and against site rules. Hope the references I've suggested help - and there are plenty more to be found!
