I'm in favor for keeping things the same. I think this because when we get a new president we should not have to change things just for them. It would not be right to change something that we have had as something in our lives just for one person.

i think Thomas Jefferson dressed nicely to show he cares about his hygiene and that he like dressing up

julz said...

i'm in favor of jefferson's ideas because why he was in office he came up with ideas to get the united states out of debt and it only took him two years.He believes that the strength of the united states came from the independent farmers and i believe that he make's very good optional decisions and also he got rid of the problem the federalist left.so i would keep jeffersons idea

Dantreece Matthews said...

I think that we should keep things the same because it is fine the way it is and it doesn't need to be changed for other presidents and that wouldn't be fair to other people because we deserve to have these things in our lives and not just for the president.

Unknown said...

I am in favor of keeping things the same because a lot of people don't adapt quickly to difference and change

braydon said...

i am for changing because it will benefit the people and help us and our issues and problems by adjusting to the life of the people

Kyle Dunn said...

I'm in favor for keeping things the same because people might not adapt quickly to the changes

RandyLayne said...

i agree with some f the change and it is hard for the people to adapt to changes but dont make the miltary smaller

brian bishop said...

i think jefferson's ideas were better that the people should be some what in charge somewhat not just the ONE person but have law makers, people to make sure laws are carried out so there wont be much crime

taulbeek said...

I am with some of the things Jefferson did like expanding the nation west. I am not with shrinking the military.

Jordan said...

I think we should change it because it will help us with adjusting to different situations.

I think that we should do things the jefferson's way. I say this because every body is there own person and should be treated like that. Also I think that all people should be treated the same as the next

melvin said...

i think we should keep things the same.i say this because when we get new president bad things happen.i think we shouldnt try to change the president.

Bragin said...

I'm in favor of keeping the federalists policies. I think this because when Jefferson was president he started lot of argue with other people . We should not change the law if it's already good for the people.Jefferson said he want to make the United States to be success but it don't mater who is better

thai McCowan said...

Iromero said...

We should stay with Jeffersons ideas instead of federalist ideas

Unknown said...

I am in favor of Jefferson's idea because the Federalist is keeping their ideas the same. Jefferson wants to change thing so that they can have something new in his policies. Jefferson believed in reducing the power and size of the federal government.

Shane Hart hola said...

I am in favor of keeping things the same because the people will not adapt to the changes that Jefferson wants. It is hard for a large group of people to cope with such changes.

Dami O said...

I'm for jefferson because he was for the people and cared unlike other people he wanted every one to be treated equally

Unknown said...

i thick we should keep federalist policies so thing came the same as of of change for pot in time

Thao Nguyen said...

I am in favor of changing government policy to match Jefferson's ideas because Jefferson found ways to get the US out of dept and he managed to do that in two years. He helped the US , and if each future president did the same things over and over , it wouldn't be much help , I believe that their ideas should be different , therefore the could think of better ways to improve and help their state.

Kaleb said...

I am favor Federalist because I think people that went to school and got a education.We don't want a people that never went to school and that person is trying to be our president,no way.We want all person that can read,write and everything.

megablogger said...

I chose the idea of changing the governments policy's to match Jeffersons ideas because he could have newer and better ideas the the federalist because his can be more better for the land or state instead of having old policies that people don't like.

Kyren said...

Wcunningham said...

I am in favor of keeping Jefferson ideas because he wanted to move westward and limit the armies.Also he wanted to let the people own there own lands,and they would protect there own land.

mariah salyers said...

I think we should keep Federalist policies because we need a bigger army if we go to war and we've had these policies and they work so why change them?

Anonymous said...

I think we should keep things the same because if we change things people might not catch on right away

Kevin Smith (K-Fresh) said...

I think the Federalists have the right idea. They have a strong central government. Since that government system stands today, I support the Federalists.

brandon schon said...

i agree with Jefferson because with his ideas gave the people more power and he want reduce the national debt. and he was in favor of people owning there own land so the would have pride.

Dbolden said...

i am in favor of jefferson ideas because he saved a lot of money for the states and he was with the people owning there own land. and plus keeping things the same way would have the rich owning things instead of the people.

Tehya Quinones said...

Change government policies to fit Jefferson's ideas. He was able to reduce the national debt within a few years. He obviously knows what he's doing. He has good ideas to help the country, changing the policies sounds like a good thing to do.

P. Raines said...

I think it is good to make changes for the better. I'm with Jefferson, CHANGE FOR THE BETTER, CHANGE FOR THE PEOPLES WELL BEING! However, we are not going to rush them to change, progress is required...

Kaylyn S. said...

I am in favor of retaining Federalists policies. An example from the section is they tried to start a new national bank.

I think that the policy should change because jeferson gives the people power and he believes that the debt should be reduced and people need to. Own their own land.

kyra said...

i agree with jeffersons policy because people should have the right.

Unknown said...

I am in favor of changing the governments policy to fit Jefferson's ideas. I think this because Jefferson was one of he nations best presidents he put in to place many laws that helped the union. Jefferson's main accompleshment was to reduce and finaly destroy the natinal dept.
