Explanation:

Alexander Hamilton was an economist, statesman, politician, writer, lawyer, and first secretary of the Treasury of the United States. He was one of the founding fathers of the United States. He was an influential interpreter and promoter of the Constitution of the United States, as well as the founder of the nation's financial system, the Federalist Party, the United States Coast Guard and The New York Post. As the first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton was the principal author of the economic policies of the George Washington administration. He led the financing of the debts of the states by the federal government, as well as the establishment of a national bank, a tariff system, and friendly trade relations with Great Britain. His vision included a strong central government led by a vigorous executive branch, a strong commercial economy, with a national bank and support for manufactures, plus a powerful army. This was opposed by the Virginia agriculturalists Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, who formed a rival party, the Democratic-Republican Party. They preferred strong states based on rural America and protected by state militias in opposition to a powerful federal army and navy. They denounced that Hamilton was too friendly towards Great Britain and the monarchy in general, and too oriented to the cities, the businesses and the banking.
