Answer:

The author of the Declaration of Independence, who disagreed with many of Alexander Hamilton's ideas, was Thomas Jefferson.

Explanation:

Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton began discussing national fiscal policy, especially the financing of war debts. Hamilton believed that the debts should be equally shared by all and Jefferson believed that each state should be responsible for its own debt (for example, Virginia had not accumulated much debt during the Revolution). In the fight against the federalists, Jefferson came to equate Hamilton and the rest of his followers and conservatives with the monarchists, who threatened to undermine republicanism.
