Hamilton's biggest challenge was to pay off the national debt. I guess he thought that was the nation's biggest priority. During the war the government raised money with bonds, but couldn't afford to keep the promise of paying off the bonds. Thomas Jefferson disagreed with a lot that Hamilton did, and believed in, so this caused some problems later on.
He believed that a strong central government would be the best for our country for a limited number of responsibilities. He wanted the government to be served by successful and educated people.

Alexander Hamilton felt that a national government was necessary to protect the people from foreign intrigue; to establish good credit by paying off the debts accumulated by the states and the nation; and to have a constitution and a law-based society.

He felt that the U.S. Constitution was a vast improvement over the Article of Confederation, however much of the implementation was still to be determined. Hamilton had a large influence on the shape of the government systems and financial systems.
strong central government
He thought that states should have representation by size and population.
Hamilton thought that it would give the states a strong interest in the success of the national government.
Alexander Hamilton wasn't unfounded in his opinions. He didn't think the federal government had any power whatsoever, and he was right. It didn't. The financial situation was a mess, he said, and the government didn't have any power to fix it (and Hamilton would be the one to fix it later). The government was laughably unstable and weak in other countries eyes and looked like it would surely collapse, and to Hamilton, who was obsessed with status and hierarchies (why he was obsessed is a story for another day), this was the worst of all its faults. Trade was another huge problem, and Hamilton believed the only way to get a government to be powerful was through trade. No trade, and the nation remains pitiful.
Hamilton wanted a strong central government, but Jefferson believed that it was the right of the people to rule their economy.
The Articles of Confederation did not give the central government enough power & the states too much power...thus it could destroy the U.S.
Hamilton did think that the federal government had implied powers. He argued to use mans adequate to his ends. A~C

How do you feel Alexander hamiltonn contributed to the America today and the America then. do you think his contrbutions were signifigant
No, he thought quite the opposite. As a Federalist, Hamilton believed that a strong, centralized government that could unify the people was more important than securing individual rights.
Alexander Hamilton thought that a strong central government should balance power between the "mass of the people" and wealthier citizens. He believed that his approach would protect everyone's liberties while keeping the people from having too much power.
Its a government.. I think that the government rules...(:
