<span>"Using these words lets
Hamilton associate the executive and legislative branches with war and taxes,
both of which will be viewed negatively by readers, so that his argument in
favor of a strong judicial branch will be viewed positively."</span>
Hamilton wanted people to support his plan, so he wanted to make sure that regular people had positive feelings about the words he was using. Everyone had just been through a war, so no one really wanted to hear that word. He uses the word "sword" instead, which is more general and a lot of people owned swords. Instead of using the word "taxes" (again, people really hated the idea of taxes), he uses the word "purse" which again, is something everyone had and had a positive feeling about. Choosing 'sword' and 'purse' was much better than 'war' and 'taxes', so more people supported Hamilton's plan.
