I'm absolutely horrible at history, and I need to write a paragraph (essay) on this..

"explain how Jefferson's views differed from Adams' and Hamilton's. Explain how Jefferson could be viewed as a hypocrite in regard to his views after being elected to President in 1800 and 1804"

Anyone feel like helping out, even giving me some sort of help? I would really appreciate it!
 
So for the part about Jefferson being a hypocrite, you can say that Jefferson was a strict constructionist, meaning that he had a strict interpretation of the constitution. However, during his presidency, he decided to purchase the Lousiana Purchase, even though the Constitution does not give the president the strict authority to do so. Therefore, Jefferson had to loosely interpret the Constitution in order to purchase the Louisiana Purchase. I don't really have any more time to answer the rest, but I hope this is a good starting point. Good Luck.
