why did hamilton defend the loyalists in court after the american revolution
Either the American Revolution, or the War of 1812.
Assuming that the term "patriot" refers to "US American Patriotism", then yes. Israel Putnam was an American Patriot in that he gladly served in both the Seven Years War and the American Revolution to defend his fellow Colonists.
Alexander Hamilton defended the Constitution in the Federalist Papers. Meaning he was a Federalist.
because he is a man
he defended his plan by paying the UN to fund it.
Hamilton defended the Loyalists as a matter of personal principle. He believed that the persecution of Loyalists was in clear violation of the Treaty of Paris, and that it would weaken the character of the country. He therefore saw defending the Loyalists as worthwhile.
Loyalists support the leaders, patriots defend their country. During the American Revolution Loyalists supported the rule of the English King while Patriots wanted a new government for the colonies (they were not states yet).
Henry Hamilton was the Lieutenant Governor of the newly acquired (for the British) Northwest territory. His headquarters was at Fort Detroit and the American Revolution had already begun when he took his post. During the war Gov. Hamilton spurred the Native American tribes to attack the American colonists in Pennsylvania and Virginia (which included Kentucky and West Virginia). To defend themselves against these attacks and to acquire as much of the vast Northwest territory for themselves, Virginia launched a small campaign led by Col. George Rogers Clark against the tribes and Hamilton. This led, eventually, to Hamilton's defeat and capture at Vincennes.
Either the American Revolution, or the War of 1812.
A British colonial official may defend British action toward the American colonies in the years just before the Revolution. They may use the argument that the colonists were traitors.

Loyalists were loyal to the British crown, they probably wouldn't have liked the patriots, but respected their need to defend their country and agreed that their sense was okay, but still thought they were supporting the wrong country.
