What were the main Differences between Alex Hamilton and James Madison?

Answer 1

James Madison and Alexander Hamilton worked together on the Federalists papers along with John Jay.

Hamilton was the first Secretary of Treasury under George Washington. He also started the first national bank. He wanted a relationship with England, a strong central government and greatly opposed Jefferson's vision for an agrarian nation. He also supported the idea of a flexible constitution. He was killed by the third vice president, Aaron Burr, in a duel. He ran against Burr in an election and there was much conflict between the two. Burr challenged Hamilton. Hamilton was honorable and excepted, even though his belief system did not allow him to kill another man. Hamilton went knowing he was going to die and never even shot at Aaron Burr.

James Madison copied and took careful notes during discussions shaping the Constitution. He was the Secretary of State under Jefferson and the Fourth President. He supported Hamilton's creation of a National Bank and believed in a strong military. Even though Madison helped write the Federalist papers he was a Democratic Republican or Anti-Federalist.
