[Gianni]

Hamilton's desire for unconditional and eternal entry into a Constitutional union was defeated in the New York convention. He left the matter with tail tucked between his legs, and his humiliation was backed by Madison, who stated that nothing in the New York and Virginia ratification documents was contrary to the Constitution itself.

That the powers of government may be reassumed by the people whensoever it shall become necessary to their happiness;

Were it only that you shared his graciousness in defeat.

You clearly don' know what happened at the NY Convention whose ratification of the Constitution was a stunning achievement by Hamilton in converting the Clinton hacks from two thirds opposed to voting yes. AND the proposal to ratify conditionally was voted DOWN.

He was "defeated" as badly as the Union armies in 1865.
