I have to say some unpleasant things about him. As the leader of the Federalists, he was one of the most important people working to form the US Constitutional government. He was an author of many of the Federalist Papers, and it is pretty obvious without his efforts, much of what did occur, would not have occurred.
However, Hamilton pooh poohed the concerns of the Anti-Federalists, and if you look at the Anti-Federalist papers, virtually everything they worried about came to pass exactly as they had expressed their concern, and completely contrary to Hamilton's dismissal of them.
All of the predictions of a draconian and out of control Federal Government turned out to be true. In many respects, Hamilton was dead wrong, and his opponents turned out to be dead right.
Hamilton was right to dismiss the arguments of the anti-federalists, because there was one big check on federal power: The State-Appointed Senators.
Once the 17th Amendment fell upon the United States, the fuse was lit for an explosive government.
Hamilton did warn us of another problem in Washington’s Farewell Address when he wrote about improper changes of law. He saw that possibility, but not the change in the Senate.
Now you can feel better about Hamilton.
