Alexander Hamilton was the leader of the Federalist party. Some claim that he shared power with John Adams, but he was, for the most part, the most powerful Federalist next to George Washington. Adams is insignificant because he was incompetent and ruled by his temper rather than his objective reason.
The main reason one should be able to figure out the fact that Hamilton was Federalist, not an anti-federalist, is because he is the only non-president on US paper currency. "Why?" You ask. Because he was the first Secretary of the Treasury and established the Bank of the United States and thus established America as a major economic power. He was the most important founding father in that respect because without him, America would have no credit and would have failed as a country. The Federal Bank was strongly opposed by anti-federalists.
Hamilton was the exact opposite of an anti-federalist. (He also wrote 52 of the 85 essays collected as the Federalist Papers)
