FEDERALIST No. 72
The Same Subject Continued, and Re-Eligibility of the Executive
Considered
From the Independent Journal.

HAMILTON
To the People of the State of New York:
THE administration of government, in its largest sense, comprehends all
the operations of the body politic, whether legislative, executive, or
judiciary; but in its most usual, and perhaps its most precise
signification. it is limited to executive details, and falls peculiarly
within the province of the executive department. The actual conduct of
foreign negotiations, the preparatory plans of finance, the application
and disbursement of the public moneys in conformity to the general
appropriations of the legislature, the arrangement of the army and navy,
the directions of the operations of war -- these, and other matters of a
like nature, constitute what seems to be most properly understood by the
administration of government.
