The Texans felt like most if not all Confederate states about the draft. They believed it went against the right of states which was one of the main reasons for the southern states split from the Union in the first place! The new Confederate Constitution stated that a central government had no right to take away the rights of individual states and the people believed that by forcing them to go to war in a "draft" was unconstitutional!
What did Hamilton feel about Jefferson's beliefs in relation to the constitutiion?

The stem of much of their disagreement was their interpretations of the Elastic, or Necessary and Proper clause of the Constitution (Article 1 Sec. 8 Clause 18).
How much power should a leader have per Daniel Carroll?
Daniel Carroll was one of the Founding Fathers, and one of only two Catholics to sign the Constitution. Carroll believed in the necessity of having a strong leader (the president) and a strong central government (congress), but he believed there should be limits to that power. He did not want the president to be like a king, accountable to no-one; nor did he want the president appointed by the legislature and thus accountable to only a few men. In fact, he did not want the members of congress to be paid a salary by the states, out of concern that the members would feel beholden to those who paid them, and not do their duty for the entire country. Further, he agreed with the doctrine that the powers not specifically given to the Federal Government by the Constitution should be given to the states. While supporting a strong central government that would regulate commerce with the individual states as well as with foreign countries, he also fought to make sure the president was elected "by the people," so that the leader of the United States would not become so powerful that he could never be replaced. Carroll was very close friends and a supporter of George Washington, and he seems to have respected Washington as an ideal leader. But we do not have any specific quotes in which Carroll discussed his views on power: we only have his actions, and the policies he supported.
