-He did not believe in individual rights and believed the federal government should have more power.
-He did not support the confederacy and wanted the southern states to leave the Union

Answer 1

The statement "He did not believe in individual rights and believed the federal government should have more power" seems to accurately represent Alexander Hamilton's stance on adding a Bill of Rights to the Constitution. Hamilton was a strong advocate for a strong central government and believed that listing specific individual rights could potentially limit the powers of the federal government.
