"Energy in the Executive is a leading character in the definition of a good government."

Hamilton argues that a government that takes action is the definition of a good government.

"A feeble execution is but another phrase for a bad execution; and a government ill executed."

Hamilton argues that if there is a weak President then as a result there will be a weak government.

"That unity is conducive to energy will not be disputed. Decision, activity, secrecy, and despatch will generally characterize the proceedings of one."

Hamilton argues that making decisions, acting on them, keeping them a secret, and dealing with problems are the most efficient when done by 1 person instead of by many.

"This unity may be destroyed in two ways: either by vesting the power in two or more magistrates of equal dignity and authority; or by vesting it ostensibly in one man."

Hamilton argues that putting 2 or more people in charge destroys unity, creates division, and destroys government productivity.
