answer

Explanation:

To answer these questions, we analyze the context (likely from a historical account of Hamilton and Jefferson's compromise, e.g., the Compromise of 1790):

1. What did Hamilton get out of this compromise?

Hamilton wanted a strong financial system (e.g., federal assumption of state debts). In the 1790 compromise, he secured federal government assumption of state Revolutionary War debts (strengthening federal credit/his financial plan) in exchange for supporting Jefferson’s agenda on the capital’s location.

2. What did Jefferson get out of this compromise?

Jefferson (and Madison) wanted the national capital in a southern location. The compromise gave him (and Virginia) the location of the national capital (moved to the District of Columbia, between Virginia/Maryland) in exchange for supporting Hamilton’s debt assumption.

3. How does Jefferson portray himself?

Jefferson portrays himself as a principled leader navigating political negotiations, emphasizing his role in securing the capital for the South while framing his actions as balancing regional interests (vs. Hamilton’s “financial power” focus). He may present himself as a defender of southern (Virginia) priorities and a pragmatist in compromising for the nation’s stability.

(Note: The exact wording depends on the source text, but these align with the historical Compromise of 1790 between Hamilton, Jefferson, and Madison.)
