Hamilton failed to understand the primary means of keeping the US government in control: Competition and weakness. The federal government was not supposed to grow so powerful as to control the wealth of the nation and States were to be sovereign as to ensure both their individual freedoms and liberties and to provide competition between the States.
Hamilton was a liberal that thought he knew best for the people and people he would hire to be with him in government would be best at handling the wealth of the antion. He was arrogant and stupid.
