Looking for scene with an argument between Federalists and Jeffersonians

I have not seen this series, yet. I will, but have been very busy with my MEd and work. I have a unit coming up for one of my special education classes where I will be discussing the dissent within Washington's administration between Jefferson and Hamilton. It is helpful for students, especially those with disabilities, to visualize these issues. I am looking for a scene, preferably between Jefferson and Hamilton disagreeing, though it doesn't have to be the two of them necessarily, as long as I can get a solid scene of disagreement over the differences between the Federalists and Jeffersonian Democrats. Does anyone know a particular scene from a particular episode, or know a good youtube clip I could use? Thanks.

Empty what is full. Fill what is empty. Scratch what itches.

Part 5 covers Washington's presidency and there is a lot of time spent on this. Part 6 covers Adams' presidency and also covers these issues.

The fifth episode has a lengthy argument between Jefferson and Hamilton over economic/financial manners. Probably the best example of a specific argument in the series:

Ha, showed this exact scene to my 8th grade classes today in just such a lesson.
