Hamilton’s advice could have been ignored and probably would not have even been sought had Adams been around to do his job.
Hamilton was opposed to the A & S Acts and advised Congress not to pass them.
Democrats had a scheme to challenge Hamilton to duels until one of them killed him. None of these challenges were really legit since they did not involve personal honor but were just a means to kill a political opponent. When word got around about these plans they were dropped. H’s view of dueling at the end of his life was not the same as it had been earlier.
Compared to Jefferson’s activities in opposition to the administration he was VP in H’s actions were nothing.
Now you are peddling the Washington was a “dupe” line to account for his immense regard for Hamilton? Any other slanders you hope to sell today?
Hamilton was the principle author of the greatest political writings since Aristotle but not smart enough for you, LoL.
He never specifically wrote on economics outside of development and was principally concerned with government finance laying a program which allowed our nation to become the leading economic power in the world. His brilliance was attested to as much by his enemies as by his friends even Jefferson had to admit he was personally honest and was of such a stature that he called H “...a host within himself...” and a “...colossus...”
As to his alleged unpopularity with Democrats and Adams who cares? None of them did as much for our country as H and none could face him in an honest debate. Not the sneaking Jefferson, the weak Madison or an Adams consumed with envy of a man who was everything he was not.
And so is insinuating that it gave Alexander Hamilton, a disgraced unelected former cabinet secretary with no office of his own and no legal authority to do much of anything on the president's behalf, the "right" to step in his place and begin stirring up trouble.
Nor is your comparison to Jefferson a valid one. Jefferson was, after all, Vice President and LEGALLY ELECTED as such. Hamilton was NOTHING after he resigned in 1795 and had no right to act.
As to Washington, he was no more a dupe than Theoden. But like Theoden, he also had a Wormtongue.

Since that bizarre and almost comical assessment is coming from somebody who fetishizes over Hamilton, it must be taken with a heavy grain of salt. As previously noted, NOBODY credible in the economics profession takes Hamilton seriously today (and don't try to backtrack on that either - YOU called him the father of modern capitalism, and now you're trying to separate him from economics?). Hamilton is tolerated by Keynesians and adored by the LaRouchies, but with each of those "endorsements" I need only note res ipsa loquitur.
