Is this America’s first “Golden Shield” memo? Jefferson thought so. Are the S of M and I being grossly unfair? In fairness, it was George Washington that Hamilton used as his “aegis.”

Can you spell this out a bit more? I think I grasp fully the issues, both political and Constitutional, between Jefferson and Hamilton, but I’m not quite sure how the documented arguments entail a Golden Shield ploy by Hamilton. On the theory that there may be other readers trying to catch this train, can you elaborate? Imagine an undergraduate class who will be expected to discuss this topic on a test.
