Nope, no big government there.
Thanks for posting the bio. Too bad you didn't read it. Or if you did, didn't understand what it said. Try again.

From Madison's notes: "It will be objected probably, that [an Executive for life] will be an elective Monarch, and will give birth to the tumults which characterize that form of Gov[ernmen]t. He w[oul]d reply that Monarch is an indefinite term. It marks not either the degree or duration of power. If the Executive Magistrate wd. be a monarch for life--the other prop[ose]d by the Report . . . wd. be a Monarch for seven years."Don't know too many ways that can be taken. Hamilton called for an elected monarch, much as he called for a lifetime Senate. Hmmmm, except for the 'elected' bit sounds quite a bit like England's system of government with the higher offices serving for life. But you keep preaching sunshine....
