Alexander Hamilton was one of the most prominent founding fathers in American history.

He was the Secratary of Treasury under George Washington, and he had a lot of influence on the economic policies and decisions that were made.

He was a Federalist, so he supported a government that was more involved.

Hamilton suggested things such as:

  • The federal govt should assume state debts accumulated during the Revolution. The federal govt would have more power that way, since it would not be the states who were dealing with the finances.
  • Create a National Bank (Bank of the United States) that would centralize the money and govt even more
  • Hamilton also favored becoming a more industrious country, which would later help the economy

Overall, Hamilton has a huge impact on the way America was to be shaped. It would have a [usually] strong central government while states still had power
