Mr. Hudson,
As a former Wall Street lawyer I often made pilgrimages to "Inspiration Point". This, of course, is Hamilton's modest tomb in the Trinity Church yard at the foot of Wall Street.
Unlike TJ who lived off the sweat of his "servants", Hamilton (when not in office) worked for a living churning out briefs, indentures, contracts, etc from his law office on Wall Street. Unfortunately, Hamilton's habit of working all hours into the night has become holy writ for those who came after him.
Hamilton's concept of an energetic Federal government can be used for good or ill and has been by the President's named by you, and others. However, all of them relied on Wall street lawyers from Elihu Root to Henry Stimson to John Foster Dulles to Cyrus Vance to plan and carry out their policies.
Your humble servant
