A Full Vindication of the Measures of Congress was one of Alexander Hamilton's first published works, written in 1774.
In his publication, Hamilton addresses his praise for the Continental Congress, citing that "It was hardly to be expected that any man could be so presumptuous as openly to controvert the equity, wisdom, and authority of the measures adopted by the Congress"[1].
Refuting claims of ignorance in Congress, Hamilton says Congress has "recommended the only effectual means to secure the freedom, and establish the future prosperity of America upon a solid basis"[1]
Hamilton's intent was to defend the actions of the delegations in Philadelphia in answer to the author A.W. Farmer.[2]
After publishing A Full Vindication of the Measures of Congress, Hamilton further published another work in 1775 titled The Farmer Refuted.[2]
