I’d personally buy Burr a beer; Hamilton would be a democrat today. As it was he was pro-urban policy, pro central bank, and the most over the top Federalist of his time. While Madison and his supporters were agrarian and devout Christian, and had a vision of a similar rural America full of self-reliant and self-governing people Hamilton was a closeted atheist and saw a strongly hierarchical society, with a lower class to do the menial labor work in the cities, and a strong federal government to keep them in line, and pro-mercantile laws to develop the urban areas into global power centers.

Indeed, Hamilton wanted a monarchy ... An American Aristocracy. Like many of the Deep State and their politicians, he wanted Dynasties.
