What were Hamilton's views of the constitution?

He believed, for one thing, that it could be taken loosely. Unlike his political rivals Jefferson and Madison, Hamilton believed that the government still had powers that weren't expressly stated, as evidenced by his support of a national bank. He argued that it was necessary and proper and the Constitution allowed for things that are necessary and proper. This is loose constructionism. Jefferson and Madison were strict constructionists and thought the Constitution was to be taken literally. In addition, he thought that power should be centered mostly in the executive branch, where Jefferson and Madison thought the legislative branch should hold most of the power. Hamilton also believed that the judicial branch had less power than the other two branches, and that that was a serious flaw with the Constitution.
