Hamilton would MOST likely agree with which of the following statements?

b) Checks on the executive branch in the twentieth century failed, making the single executive no longer beneficial to the American republic and necessitating a replacement by a coalition.
c) Despite changing interpretations of the executive's powers in the twentieth century, any president able to justify the expansion of his powers with constitutional evidence was still acting responsibly.
d) While the expansion of presidential military endeavors in the twentieth century demonstrated executive energy, it did not show due responsibility and thus was not a reason to eliminate the single executive.
