He was Jefferson’s greatest advocacy. He was one of the strongest leaders of the Federalist party. He employed a government that was proactive in both economic and military affairs, was capable of overruling (if necessary) lower governments and could exert its authority directly on the individual citizens. As the first Secretary of the Treasury, he drafted a series of measures to provide revenue; however, it would also ally the wealthy with the central government. His proposal of a National Bank infuriated Jefferson, who said it as unconstitutional.
