Hamilton was a monarchist seeking to destroy the state governments:
Dr. JOHNSON. On a comparison of the two plans which had been proposed from Virginia and New Jersey, it appeared that the peculiarity which characterized the latter was its being calculated to preserve the individuality of the states. The plan from Virginia did not profess to destroy this individuality altogether, but was charged with such a tendency. One gentleman alone, (Col. Hamilton,) in his animadversions on the plan of New Jersey, boldly and decisively contended for an abolition of the state governments.

Hamilton was a master negoitator determined to obtain as strong a govenment as possible he IN NO WAY WAS a monarchist. His speech at the convention worked exactly as he wished. The Randolph Plan was mired down and not going anywhere, H.'s spoke of a government EVEN STRONGER than the one under the Randolph plan which jolted the delegates into approving the Randolph Plan the NEXT DAY.
Good thing you are not negoitiating with such a genius or you would be wondering where your pants went.
