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.
Hardly a false view at all. I never denied that it was his job to enforce revenue laws. The new nation was broke following the war and it was his job to gather the revenue to pay for it. The only way he was able to accomplish that duty successfully was through the use of force; implied and real.
As for the Conditionality of a federal agency having the authority to enter and seize private property, without a search warrant, has been being debated for over 200 years. Although the courts continue to uphold it, the very thought that armed federal law enforcement officers are able to enter and seize your property, without so much as a search warrant, is something that the average citizen believes is outside the bounds of the Constitution.
As for Hamilton himself, I always was a fan of his. How could I not be and spend over 30 years in the Coast Guard. However, your assertion that he was a limited federal power type is far from accurate. He led the way in use of strong, over-riding, federal power.
