Adams was a Federalist And Jefferson was a Republican. Adams wanted a strong central government controlled by a powerful president. Jefferson wanted popular rule: he distrusted powerful elite institutions like an omnipotent (monarchical) central government. The biggest fallout came when Adams past the Alien and Sedition Acts which severely restricted basic American freedoms.
