Hamilton was greatly concerned that local politicians would fight the Constitution because they were afraid of losing their existing power. The way he described them makes me think of politicians today (I guess they haven't changed much). He warns against those that put too much emphasis on "people's rights." I think of overly done equal rights laws, healthcare, and other social and environmental issues that sound good, but cause many problems. Those that push this agenda are more often than not using it only as a smoke screen to hide their own selfish power seeking agenda.
