Alexander Hamilton wasn't unfounded in his opinions. He didn't think the federal government had any power whatsoever, and he was right. It didn't. The financial situation was a mess, he said, and the government didn't have any power to fix it (and Hamilton would be the one to fix it later). The government was laughably unstable and weak in other countries eyes and looked like it would surely collapse, and to Hamilton, who was obsessed with status and hierarchies (why he was obsessed is a story for another day), this was the worst of all its faults. Trade was another huge problem, and Hamilton believed the only way to get a government to be powerful was through trade. No trade, and the nation remains pitiful.
