B) He should vote for Republicans.

C) Federalist President John Adams, the political groups publicly started to fight. The country had been led into an undeclared naval war with France by Adams and the Federalists and articulated an activist notion of government that Vice President Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic Republicans felt contradicted democratic ideals in the process.
There was profound public frustration under Adams with the country's course and growing divisions. Crises proliferated. There were, in particular, frequent confrontations with France over the hunt for American ships on the high seas and other violations by the revolutionary Paris government. Open confrontation appeared possible at times.

The Federalists in Congress had passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, aimed at preventing radical French interference in the United States and restricting the interference of foreign-born citizens who were critical of the policies of Adams, with anti-French paranoia growing. The acts granted the President the power to expel or gaol any alien who was The acts provided the President with the power to expel or detain any alien who was dangerous or "suspected" of treason, granting the government broad latitude. The laws also allowed fines and prison terms for anyone who wrote or distributed "any false , scandalous, and malicious writings" against the government with the aim of defaming or bringing "in contempt or disregard" to U.S. officials. Jefferson opposed all this. Different factions were increasingly at the throats of each other, with the policies of Adams and his abrasive personality often at a hundred percent.

On November 15, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States, but they were not ratified by the states until March 1 , 1781. A loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government were established by the Articles, leaving most of the power with the state governments. When the argument of wartime necessity was eliminated by peace, the shortcomings of the 1777 Articles of Confederation became increasingly evident. The fruits of the Revolution were ruined by divisions between the states and also by local rebellions. Almost immediately, nationalists, led by James Madison, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay , and James Wilson, began to work to strengthen the federal government. In 1787, in Philadelphia, they turned a series of regional trade conferences into a national constitutional convention.

D)From the Federalists
Hamilton's group, with some wealthy farmers and Southern plantation owners, was made up of merchants, bankers and producers. Mostly, they were well-educated and owned land. They were mainly in New England and along the coast.
The Republican People
Jefferson's cohorts were mainly artisans, shopkeepers, frontier settlers, backcountry farmers and poor farmers, mainly ill-educated and illiterate Republicans. Mostly, they were ill-educated and illiterate. In the interior areas, the bulk of them were settled. Jefferson himself was obviously a well-educated plantation owner, but you'll learn in time that Jefferson was kind of a paradox.

The U.S. Direction. The Economy
Manufacturing, commerce, finance and overseas trade were stressed by Hamilton and the Federalists. They needed tariffs and safeguards for companies.

A simple agrarian economy was wanted by Jefferson and the Republicans (that basically means a farming economy). They supported the Yeoman farmers, meaning the South's small farmers, not the major plantation owners. They wanted the government to serve the 'common man' interests.

During the emergence of the country's democratic party structure, the Federalist Party, an early U.S. national political party, promoted a strong central government and held power from 1789 to 1801. In 1787, the word federalist was first used to characterise the proponents of the newly drafted Constitution, who stressed the proposed union's federal character. Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison wrote a collection of 85 essays between October 1787 and August 1788 that appeared in various New York newspapers attributed to the pseudonym "Publius." As the combined essays are called, the Federalist papers (formally The Federalist) were written to fight anti-Federalism and to inform the public of the need for the Constitution.

The Federalists stood for the following economic policies over the decade of the 1790s: financing of the old Revolutionary War debt and assuming state debts, enactment of excise laws, establishment of a central bank, preservation of a tariff system, and preferential treatment of American shipping. They practised neutrality in foreign affairs in the war that broke out between France and Great Britain in 1793; accepted the 1794 Jay Treaty, which ended Britain 's difficulties; and supported strong laws on protection and internal security in the 1798-99 crisis (see Alien and Sedition Acts), when French demands almost forced open war. Such policies, especially in the South, were strongly resisted; the opposition, founded in 1791 by Madison and Thomas Jefferson, became the Republican Party (also known as the Jeffersonian Republicans), which was later called the Democratic Republican Party. This movement was gradually turned into the modern Democratic Party.

Democratic-Republicans advocated retaining the agriculture-based U.S. economy and said that the U.S. should act as the rest of the world 's agricultural supplier. If a surplus was produced by the United States, they could export the extra crops abroad and use the money from these sales to buy imported goods from the developed nations of Europe.
The Democratic-Republicans were more egalitarian than were the Federalists. Jefferson argued that as long as they possessed a small amount of land, all adult white men should have the right to vote and serve in elected office. Both U.S. families wanted the Democratic-Republicans to own their own estate. Jefferson also claimed that if they possessed enough land to feed and shelter their families, working-class citizens would set aside their own economic benefit for the greater good. Hence republicans are more of democratic in nature and preserves the ideas of liberty,equality and fraternity.

Hence one can have benefits and perks from voting Republics.
