What was the most controversial portion of Alexander Hamilton's economic program?

Although this is a subjective question, many would argue that the excise tax was the most controversial part of Hamilton's economic program, for two reasons.
-One being that it sparked the Whiskey Rebellion. No other parts of the plan sparked a formidable rebellion, which in itself, shows that people were not opposed to the other parts as much. By definition, this part was the most controversial to the people at that time.
-The second reason being that the excise tax was the only part of the plan that Thomas Jefferson repealed during his administration. He was vehemently opposed to the other parts of the plan, especially the national bank established by Hamilton, but he left them in place. The annulment of only this part of the plan shows that it was the most widely disliked, and therefore, controversial.

Yes on both counts.

No, and sort of yes.This is a simplistic treatment. Geographically speaking, Egypt and Greece are separated by the Mediterranean Sea. Culturally, they are different, but share some of the same roots. Historically, they are even more connected: Egypt was the southern portion of the empire Alexander of Macedonia conquered. After his death, succession was juggled a bit, but settled into four empires: Ptolemaic Egypt under Alexander's former general Ptolemy I Soter, the Near Eastern Seleucid Empire of Seleucus I Nicator (General of Alexander's infantry), the city of Pergamom ruled by Lysimachus, and finally the Antigonid Dynasty ruled first by Antigonus I Monophthalmus over Asia Minor and northern Syria. Alexander's conquest of Egypt brought Greek and Egyptian culture together, essentially merging the two in the latter centuries before the rise of the Roman Empire.

The President can not veto just a portion of a bill. He must veto an entire bill. Knowing this, Congress can bundle legislation -- say put a vital appropriation bill in with something controversial. The president must either veto the vital appropriation or else let the controversial part through. Of course, a veto does not completely kill a bill. Congress can still pass it, if they can get a 2/3 majority to vote for it.
