PLEASE HELP MEE Explain why many people, including Jefferson and Madison, opposed Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton’s plan to assume the war debts of both the Articles of Confederacy government and the various states.

Because they didnt want the south to have to help clear debts made by new york.

Explanation: dont take my word for it but being a hamilfan this is i beleive how they explained it in the show.

Edit: part of the song cabnit battle from hamilton:

"But Hamilton forgets

His plan would have the government assume state's debts

Now, place your bets as to who that benefits

The very seat of government where Hamilton sits

Oh, if the shoe fits, wear it

If New York's in debt, why should Virginia bear it?

Uh, our debts are paid, I'm afraid

Don't tax the South 'cause we got it made in the shade

In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground

We create, you just wanna move our money around

This financial plan is an outrageous demand

And it's too many pages for any man to understand"

10 states did
