I want to write it on Thomas Jefferson's Vs Alexander Hamilton's views on the national bank and the strict vs lose interpretation of the constitution. Where would be a good place to start getting some good reliable information?
 
Try reading biographies of both men. That's the best place to start.

I'll tell you this for free, though: they hated each other. Jefferson disagreed with Hamilton on everything it was possible to disagree on.

Hamilton favored a strong central government. Jefferson preferred a weak central government.

Hamilton founded West Point Military Academy; Jefferson founded the University of Virginia.

Jefferson opposed the Bank of the United States; Hamilton supported it.

Jefferson came from a wealthy, noble family; Hamilton was the offspring of a poor clerk in the West Indies (some people even say he was part African-American).

The list goes on and on. They were polar opposites.
