Alexander Hamilton

Together with President John Adams, he led the Federalists.

Both of the people favored a mixed economy.

The were at least 4 Financial System/Economic Plans submitted to Congress between January of 1790 and early 1794. The first was in establishing credit. Another on establishing a bank. Also Manufacturing initiatives to augment our agricultural society. The creation of the U.S. Mint and the coinage of money was another plan submitted. Three were approved, the Manufacturing was ahead of its time and essentially shelved for 30 to 40 years and then blazed the trail with ideas.

The purpose of having the Government assume the debts of the States was to show the citizens and the world, that the US Government was going to be economically sound and because the states had fought for every state's independence from Britain, not just their individual state. Southern States opposed the plan because by the time of Washington's inauguration, the Southern States had already paid off their debts.

Yes, the incumbent U.S. Vice President Aaron Burr shot former U.S. Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton in a duel in Weehawken, New Jersey on July 11, 1804. Secretary Hamilton died the following day.

They disagreed over the establishment of the national bank because Jefferson distrusted the government, while Hamilton did not. Jefferson's sympathies were with the debtors and farmers. He supported a broad distribution of wealth and disliked industrialism and organized finance. He believed in the perfectability of man and that the people using representatives knew best how to govern themselves. Basically, Jefferson believed that the less power the federal government had, the better. Hamilton supported a strong and active central government, which would encourage industry, commerce and finance. His sympathies were with creditors and buisness oriented people. He distrusted the people's ability to govern themselves and supported a powerful executive with an elite following. Basically, Hamilton believed in a strong and active government, which acted to benefit certain interests.

Alexander Hamilton wanted to pay the government's expenses. He was an economic conservative, with economic ideas similar to Washington's. To pay the expenses he asked Congress for a 5 percent tariff on imports. But the government also needed to establish a good credit rating with other nations. The new government was already about $56 million in debt. Hamilton proposed several steps:

1. Fund the entire Confederation-era debt at face value. This would show the good faith of the new government.

2. Assume the state's debts that had been contracted during and after the war. By paying back these loans, the government would again be showing its good credit.

3. The main pillar of Hamilton's fiscal plan was to establish a Bank of the United States. The BUS would have power over other banks, and basically control the economy of the US. Sort of like the FED operates today.

Hamilton lost out on the tariff increase as farmers feared it would cost them too much to purchase the manufactured goods they needed from Europe. He also lost out on a projectionist tariff, as the rates remained low.

He believed only a choosen few would benefit.

Alexander Hamilton had many plans, be more specific in asking questions please.

The Constitution gives Congress power to do useful things. This does not constitute a dangerous interpretation of the Constitution. Powers not specifically given in the Constitution can be implied.

he thought that wealth and well educated people should lead the nation.

Hamilton saw devastating consequences to supporting France. In November of 1792, after he had learned that the King had been deposed, Hamilton suspended payments on the debt to France on the grounds that, if the monarchy were restored, any payments made to the interim regime would likely not be credited as such.

Yes. Alexander the great had one son. But since Alexander was married to a Persian women and the macedonians (which was where he is from) didnt aprove the killed his son after he died from malaria.

He was Arrogent yet well-respected. Very ambitious and humble.

Alexander Hamilton's plan for a national bank was politically significant because the bank made the money in the country standardized. There was one place producing and controlling the money which kept inflation controlled.

Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson

He was concerned of the confederate government actions and conscripting troops and declaring martial law .

It was brutal. He was born illegitimately, and his mother's former husband seized every (every) opportunity to get revenge, so he could never feign legitimacy. His actual father left the West Indies (Nevis) when Alexander was around ten or so, and his mother died when he was fourteen, leaving he and his brother James to fend for themselves. Those who tried to take care of them ended up either dying or deserting them, and Alexander ended up as a clerk for a shipping company, where his intellect was quickly realized. At seventeen a hurricane struck St. Croix, where was he was then living, and he wrote about it in a letter to his father, which was found by several influential people. They raised money to send him to New York to attend college. His childhood left him with a deep hatred of anarchy and despotism, a hatred of slavery, and a large streak of pessimism, a dark filter if you will, that would influence everything he ever did.
Alexander Hamilton was raised in the West Indies and went to North America for his education. He was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.

According to The supreme Court in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) said that Article I, Section 8. The "Necessary and Proper" Clause gave Congress the power to establish a national bank.

Jefferson wanted a strict interpretation to give more power to the states, while hamilton favored a broad interpretation to streengthen the central government. Also, Jefferson wanted to give the common people more opportunities to participate in government while hamilton believed commoners were ignorant and not capable of self-government

What was Alexander Hamiltion's activities

George Washington played an extremely important role in the framing of the US Constitution, and he probably made some important suggestions for it to others during the recesses of the Constitutional Convention (May to September, 1787). But Washington was the President of the Convention, and he believed it was his job to remain impartial, not favoring any one side in the many arguments that arose during the Convention. Although he did not write the Constitution, he signed it to make it official. Moreover, when the framers were deciding just what the qualifications and powers of the President of the US should be, they seem to have patterned the office after the first person to hold it - George Washington. In fact, neither he nor Benjamin Franklin took direct part in the debates over the elements of the Constitution, but evidence strongly suggests that both men worked very hard behind the scenes to calm the furious tempers which erupted during the summer months of 1787 in Philadelphia, PA. Many of the ideas making up the Constitution were provided by James Madison, the 4th President of the US, and Gouveneur (his actual first name!) Morris of Pennsylvania is credited with providing most of the legal language we find in the document.
