Sure, and they still managed to pass the alien and sedition acts. Saying they weren't a monolith is a way of dismissing the mountain of evidence that suggests that, for most of them, participation in the democratic process of an inchoate American republic was intended only for a small segment of the population - literate (i.e. wealthy) white men. I'd suggest A People's History of the United States if you want a better perspective on that.
