The one that most accurately describes a belief of Alexander Hamilton is: The central government is, at best, a necessary evil.

Alexander Hamilton once told Thomas Paine that "Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil in its worst state, an intolerable one."

He believed that the existence of a central government will indeed limit the freedom of the people, but it is important to protect the citizens from Chaos.
