Thomas Jefferson and James Madison opposed a strong central government (and, consequently, most of Hamilton's economic policies), but they could not stop Hamilton, who wielded immense power and political clout in the Washington administration.
托马斯·杰斐逊和詹姆斯·麦迪逊反对建立一个极权中央政府（相应的也反对汉密尔顿大多数的经济政策），但他们无法阻止汉密尔顿，因为当时汉密尔顿在华盛顿管理层里有着很大的权力和政治影响力。
