He believed that if something wasn't forbidden in the constitution, then it was permitted. For example, the United States having a national bank. It wasn't forbidden in the constitution, so he took that as it being okay to have one, it was one of the implied powers of the government.

In his mind, the Constitution corrected the most serious problems of the Articles of Confederation. It proved for a strong executive­the president­to provide leadership for the country, and it also gave more power to the federal government over the individual states. In fact, if Hamilton had had his way, the federal government would have been made even more powerful­ such as a life term for the various states to approve the Constitution, Hamilton took a leading role in rallying support for it. Through a series of essays that he helped to write, known as the Federalist Papers, Hamilton explains his understanding of the Constitution and the powers that it gave to the federal government. These essays were extremely important in helping to win support for approval of the Constitution in the various states
