Sunshine burns away the mold of falsity so I accept the term.
Your post does not have one word written by Hamilton indicating he advocated a King. His discussion points regarding life time appointments always included the qualification WITH GOOD BEHAVIOR. He was a believer in a Republic not a monarchy. He fought to free the colonies from a monarchy and establish a republic, perhaps that FACT escaped you, along with lots of other FACTS. And you cannot show me one word WRITTEN by Hamilton advocating a King or monarchy.
Hamilton properly feared mobs being a student of history and able to observe the Reign of Terror's excesses. So did almost all the other founders. "Democrat" was a term of insult and abuse to all during the revolution and the decade after it. That wasn't peculiar to Hamilton.
I am not the one with a difficulty in reading nor posting quotations which do nothing to accomplish the task you are attempting. Where are the WORDS of H you thought you posted? I am still waiting.

Hamilton's reaction to Shays' Rebellion is telling, warning about how awful it would have been had the rebels been led by a Caesar or Cromwell. Hamilton wanted a strong but responsible government in order to prevent the situation from devolving into tyranny, what usually happened to republics.
