Hamilton was a statist by the standards of the time (as opposed to the people like Jefferson and Madison), but they’d all be fierce defenders of limited government and conservative quasi-libertarians by today’s standards. The arguments at that time were around a much narrower range.
It’s like in the past half century you have arguably a somewhat liberal, JFK, being more conservative than half the republicans in congress. (Of course compared to FDR he was a rock ribbed conservative)
It’s hard to figure these guys out in the 18th century. Things are so different.
