Hamilton implied that the central government under the
confederation had comparatively less power than the state governments and this
was directly affecting the collection of revenue. Hamilton wanted the central government to have
enough power to pass laws by which the state governments should be regulated.
It was also not possible for the national government to raise an army. The
Congress could not control or regulate the trades. For passing any law the
Congress needed the vote of at least the vote of 9 states among the thirteen
present.
