I don’t understand how Hamilton could’ve first said, “Enlighten the government, warn it to be vigilant, give it influence and arm it with force. To the people I have only one word – Obey” and then followed it up with, “Colonel Gilman, the more you increase the attractive force of power, the more you enlarge the sphere of liberty.”
What am I missing?

Hamilton was a believer in Big Government. His only issue with the New Deal would have been the fact that it was intended to help the people, not the commercial and speculative classes.
That was his big blind spot.
