2. what are the similarities between jefferson and hamilton? what are the differences?

Explanation:

To answer the question "What job would Hamilton be removed from?", we analyze the context (from the musical Hamilton and historical knowledge):

In the musical and historical context, Alexander Hamilton held the position of Secretary of the Treasury (also, in the dialogue, Washington refers to Hamilton’s role under his command, but the key political role at risk here ties to his Treasury position). If he didn’t get congressional approval (or due to political conflicts), his role as Secretary of the Treasury (or his advisory/leadership role in Washington’s administration) was at risk of removal. Historically, Hamilton’s Treasury role involved economic policy, and political tensions could have led to his removal from this (or related administrative) position.

Answer:

Hamilton would be removed from his role as Secretary of the Treasury (or his advisory/leadership position in George Washington’s administration, tied to his financial/policy duties).
