Right-wingers usually pick Hamilton.



Hamilton was the originator of a set of constructs that became the 'American System' (especially under the Whigs of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay) ie. strong Federal government and a central bank, high tariffs to bolster American industrialisation, which was in direct conflict with agrarianism, plus he was the enemy of strong state's rights, a major RW philosophical centrepiece.
