In this episode of Constitutionally Speaking, Jay and Luke discuss Alexander Hamilton’s theory of the executive branch. Hamilton was unique among the Founders for his brilliant insights into how a vigorous executive was essential to republican government. He believed that the executive branch should promote national economic development and diversification, helping to harmonize the various interests among society and ultimately protect it from foreign threats. The modern presidency of today is, in large part, a creation of Hamilton’s genius.
