Alexander Hamilton's plan strengthened the national government by proposing the federal assumption of state debts, which centralized financial power and enhanced the credibility of the national government. He advocated for the establishment of a national bank, which facilitated federal control over monetary policy and economic stability. By promoting tariffs and excise taxes, Hamilton aimed to generate revenue for the federal government, further entrenching its authority over economic matters. Together, these measures solidified the government's role in managing the nation's finances and fostered a more cohesive economic framework.
The Federalists, led by Alexander Hamilton, wanted a strong national government for the US.

Alexander Hamilton strongly advocated for a robust national government, believing it essential for maintaining order and promoting economic stability. He argued that a powerful federal authority was necessary to manage the country's finances, regulate commerce, and defend against external threats. Hamilton's vision included a strong executive branch and a centralized financial system, exemplified by his support for the establishment of a national bank. His views often contrasted with those of Thomas Jefferson, who favored greater states' rights and a more limited federal government.

Alexander Hamilton was the Secretary of the Treasury under President Washington. It was a powerful position and it was the largest department in the new US government. In this capacity, Hamilton laid the foundations for a powerful national economy. Hamilton made decisions concerning funding the debts incurred under the Articles of Federation and preserving the US currency among other decisions such as how the government should pay the holders of government bonds.
Federalists, like Alexander Hamilton wanted to support England, wanted a strong powerful government, a national bank and a loose interpretation of the Coast. On the other hand, Democratic-Republicans disagreed. They wanted to support France, wanted a small federal government, no national bank and a strict interpretation of the Coast.
