Hamiltonian is the proper adjective for Hamilton.
Thomas Jefferson wanted the Constitution amended to include a Bill of Rights. Alexander Hamilton was more inclined to support the wealthy elite, and had little use for the common citizen.
FDR admired Thomas Jefferson's ability to remember and consider the common people during his presidency. During FDR's own presidency, he concerned himself with the average citizen and spoke of them as the "forgotten man." He admired Alexander Hamilton's ability to uphold a strong federal government.
Alexander Hamilton was never president. The highest office he held was that of Secretary of the Treasury. Becoming president would involve exploiting a loophole in the Constitution (he was not born in the colonies but in the Caribbean and was only a US citizen because he was around at the signing of the Constitution), and he didn't want the job anyways.
Yes, Alexander Hamilton was born in Charlestown, Nevis, in the British West Indies on January 11, 1755 or 1757. He and his family moved to St. Croix in 1765. Then in 1772, Hamilton wrote a letter describing a hurricane to his father; the letter, which was subsequently published in the Royal Danish-American Gazette, inspired members of the community to collect funds to send him to college in America. Later that year, he arrived in Boston, and in May of 1782, he became a citizen of the State of New York. Although Hamilton is considered today as a prime example of someone who lived the immigrant's American Dream, his contemporaries viewed his immigrant status in a negative light; they doubted his loyalty to his adopted country.
