Hamilton’s genius and concern had been thwarted by the creation of the forerunner of the Democrat party in the early 1790s by Jefferson and Madison. A party created explicitly to stop him and his ideas. Slowly democratic influence has been expanded and the federal structure weakened as the electorate has expanded to include 35% who pay no income taxes. Federalism was also critically injured by the direct election of Senators.
Our Founders despised parties, factions they called them, and would have never believed that one so large and opposed to critical national interests as the Democrat would obtain power.

It didn't happen until International Communism figured out that it could take the Hill Billy Party and turn it into a vehicle for achieving International Labor/socialist goals in the United States of America. Its been a fun ride since the 1930’s. Looks like they have pretty much achieved their goals.
