While it is always good to have Hamilton's words recalled they do not dispute anything I have claimed he believed. Just what do you think they are disputing?

Hamilton was a Nationalist just like Madison and even Jefferson were during the early 1780s. Just like Washington and Jay and Marshall and all the greatest of the Founders always were.

Not quite sure who you are arguing with but I appreciate the attention.

Your innumerable false statements about the nature of the Constitutional union.

Your use of the word is extremely suspect, and I have no doubt that you mean something different by it than most. Hamilton was a nationalist, yes. Madison was earlier, but then was not, because hearing people like Hamilton talk about it scared the crap out of him. Whatever nationalist ideas Washington had were satisfied by the limited federal government established under the Constitution, he said so. Jefferson a nationalist? Oh, please...you should be ashamed for saying such a thing.
