2. A strong state governments.

3. A government led by the secretary of the treasury.

4. A government led by the secretary of war.

Correct Option:

1. A strong national government is supported by Alexander Hamilton.

Explanation:

Alexander Hamilton supported a powerful pivotal government and trusted in the US constitution being interpreted loosely. That implies he assumed he was entitled to believe anything the Constitution did not say. That was the reverse of the convictions made by Thomas Jefferson.

His idea was to accumulate a political control in the hands of those few men who had the ability and intellect to rule effectively for the benefit of all the citizens. This was thought by Hamilton because he was concerned that the authorities of the States would be too democratic as they were under the Confederation Articles.
