Ron Chernow Quotes

With Only Three Executive Departments, Each Secretary Wielded Considerable Power. Moreover, Departmental Boundaries Were Not Well Defined, Allowing Each Secretary To Roam Across A Wide Spectrum Of Issues. This Was Encouraged By Washington, Who Frequently Requested Opinions From His Entire Cabinet On An Issue. It Particularly Galled Jefferson That Hamilton, With His Keen Appetite For Power, Poached So Frequently On His Turf. In Fact, Hamilton's Opinions Were So Numerous And His Influence So Pervasive That Most Historians Regard Him As Having Been Something Akin To A Prime Minister. If Washington Was Head Of State, Then Hamilton Was The Head Of Government, The Active Force In The Administration.
