Two . . .

 

(from Alexander Hamilton, by Ron Chernow)
". . . John Adams, among others, seemed disillusioned with Madison as a legislator. "Mr. Madison is a studious scholar," the vice president told a friend in April, "but his reputation as a man of abilities is a creature of French puffs. Some of the worst measures, some of the most stupid motions, stand on record to his infamy. . .  for Hamilton, Madison's apostasy was a painful personal betrayal. One of Hamilton's supporters . . . told a friend that Hamilton regarded Madison's opposition to his plan as "perfidious desertion of the principles which [Madison] was solemnly pledged to defend" This falling-out was to be more than personal, for the rift between Hamilton and Madison precipitated the start of the two-party system in America . . .
