i need to know why Hamilton's plan for a loose construction, big government, and implied powers (bank of us) was a good plan
he wanted a big government in order for the US to stay together. the wanted implied powers to the government could do whatever it wanted to do (in his mind, needed to do) to keep it together. john adams was in the same boat as him and passed a bill saying it's illegal to talk crap about the government.
As Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton pursued his goal of strengthening the national government. His economic proposals restored public credit and added stability to the American monetary system. He also encouraged Washington to pursue a conciliatory commercial policy with Britain and to respond to western tax protesters with force. To James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and other critics of the Washington administration, Hamilton was the principal villain. But to most Federalists, he was a national hero.
