- Not at AllNo, he did not. In Henry Mark Holzer's book, "Sweet Land of Liberty", he outlines the reason.

The reason is that he believed that the enumeration of rights would exclude others not mentioned, subjecting the unwritten rights to government predation - James Madison believed otherwise, and the assurance that the rights enumerated in the Constitution were not exhaustive was Amendment IX of the American Constitution.

"[t]he enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Of course, this was at odds with Hamilton's position as First Secretary of the Treasury, pro-Bank of America (the US's first central bank), strong central government Federalist position later on, but that's another story. =D

Does Hamilton support or oppose a Bill of Rights?

Alexander Hamilton opposed the inclusion of a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. In Federalist No. 84, he argued that a Bill of Rights was unnecessary because the Constitution itself was a bill of rights, outlining the powers of the government and protecting individual liberties through its structure. He believed that explicitly listing certain rights could imply that any unlisted rights were not protected. Hamilton's stance reflected his confidence in the checks and balances established by the Constitution to safeguard freedoms.
