why didn't the federalists choose their leader, alexander Hamiliton?

Question

s.s.

Answer 1

I can't remember exactly why, but i believe it was because they thought he was more of a intellectual and a guy that would be beneficial behind the scene. rather than a man who could be a politcian in the limelight with charisma and glare.

Answer 2

Why didn't they choose him for what? Washington was elected as the first President, and Alexander Hamilton was his Secretary of the Treasury. He was, in fact, a powerful leader and voice among the Federalists.
