It was the competition between Thomas Jefferson, and Aaron Burr. Jefferson's idea of the U.S was that he believed everybody would be an individual farmer, making money for themselves and trade with one another. In a shorter phrase, Jefferson wanted the people to have all the power. As for Burr, he was very much like Hamilton, in fact, they were very close friends in life too, but mostly due to the fact that they agreed in political parties which caused no conflicts. Hamilton's belief was that all the power belonged to the government, and the world should be made of business. Both people believed this was the way to a utopian society and this was going to make the country in succes.
As we can see, we know that Hamilton was the winner of this, as if not, we would all be farmers right now, but now, our country, not only, but the whole world is made up of finance. The reason to this is because the 2 were in a massive argument, nearly becoming physical, until Jefferson finally gave up because Hamilton had a really good point. Even though Jefferson did not like Hamilton's view of country, he knew that his view would false as well. Jefferson's view is false due to the climate. The north had terrible soil and ground and they faced way too little sun to even grow a crop fully durring the summer, even if they did have good soil, which they didn't. This made Hamilton win their argument and later on create many financial products we use today. One main product that Hamilton created was America's first National Bank.

JordanThe election of 1796 began a new era in the us politics . For the first time, more than one candidate ran for president. Political parties, groups that help elect people and shape policies, had begun to form during Washington's presidency. Despite Washington's several warnings about political parties, the rivalry between 2 parties dominated the 1796 election.
The parties grew up around the two candidates of 1796, John Adams ( Federalist) and incumbent vice-president and Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican), Secretary of State for three years, until he saw that Washington was following Hamilton's view of world affairs, so he resigned. The parties also had a geographical basis - Adams was from Massachusetts and Jefferson from Virginia.

How did the election of 1796 differ from the first president elections?
First of all, our elections now take place only on one day. That particular election took place from a monday December 15th 1788 to Saturday January 10th 1789. It was the only election that ever took place that was partially in a year that wasn't a multiple of 4. In the election George Washington was unanimously elected for the office of President, and John Adams was the vice president. Basically there was not a formal election- individual states chose who they were going to send to elect the President, and when they all met together they unanimously voted for Washington. The total number of electoral votes was 69.
