Actually, Hamilton could put today's politicians to shame. As the architect of the Revenue Cutter Service, he caused the establishment of a new federal agency/authority that trumped states rights and even effectively superseded provisions of the Constitution. Revenue cutters had the authority to stop citizens and, if deemed appropriate, cease their private property WITHOUT a warrant (a power that the U.S. Coast Guard still has).
The original purpose of the Revenue Cutter Service was to "force" the payment of tariffs on a reluctant citizenry, including many of our founding fathers who had made an art out of avoiding paying "English" taxes and continued the practice. Think of an early version of the IRS with guns and cutlass...our founding jack booted thug.
Hamilton knew that the government must have revenue and, contrary to the false view you present, that government had all the authority in the world to tax imports to provide it. There was NO states' right to import goods without paying the tariff. Nor was there anything he was involved in collecting revenue that was unconstitutional. When there is a tariff you have no right to possess property brought into the country without paying that tariff. Anymore than today you can bring goods in without declaring them even when there is no tariff.
Of course anyone who draws the scorn of meatheaded liars as Hamilton has for over two hundred years is worthy of high praise indeed. That campaign to attack him by the Left is still in full gear. Praise of Jefferson has been sung by the same meatheaded liars during this period.
Hamilton was the greatest ally Washington had and no one received more of his support and praise. Nor was any more critical to his performance as Commander-in-Chief and President. He was the most brilliant of the Founders and played a larger role in the creation of our Nation than any man but Washington. Some will never forgive him.
