"Hamilton's policies soon brought him into conflict with Jefferson and Madison."

Don't forget Aaron Burr.

Aaron Burr's failed presidential bid was followed by a campaign to become governor of New York. When Burr requested the endorsement of the Federalists, Hamilton replied that he thought Burr to be "a man of irregular and insatiable ambition...who ought not be trusted with the reins of government."

Burr's loss in the governor's race led him to challenge Hamilton to a duel. On July 11, 1804 in Weehawken, New Jersey, Burr exacted his revenge on his nemesis with a single shot. Alexander Hamilton died from the wound on July 12, 1804 in New York City.
