Alexander Hamilton

They were mad at each other

The Federalist papers, a group of writings concerning the best form of government the former British colonies could make were not written by Jefferson. Historians credit James Madison, John Jay and Alexander Hamilton as the authors.

Thomas Jefferson disagreed that paying all states back would waste all money

The Articles of Confederation did not give the central government enough power & the states too much power...thus it could destroy the

U.S.

He thought that states should have representation by size and population.

Hamilton actually was for the creation of the National Bank and the Idea that the country need to go into debt to survive. He wanted to basically "print money". He would be opposed greatly by Thomas Jefferson who believed that the Constitution did not give the government the right to create a national bank. Hamilton's influence eventually led to the creation of the bank through a concept that the government has "implied powers" not expressly given by the Constitution.

he was a Liberal constructionist, i believe

The Federalist party grew out of Hamilton's view of a strong federal government.

Hamilton's policies were most favorable to the wealthy. this way, the rich would be more willing to give money to the government, and then the government could use that money to help the poor. this way, everyone benifitted=)

Hamilton and his wife Elizabeth had 8 children.

The term Standard Sea level gives defined set of calculations and conditions. This is done to give that same values of properties with the base line being sea level.

When George Washington became president, he was told about Alexander Hamilton and called him over. They quickly became friends and war broke against two opinions. King George would make the peasants pay more for taxes meanwhile Alexander H. and George W. won the war for their beleifs.

What was AlexanderHamilton's plan for the adequate support of public credit

Those opposed to Alexander Hamilton's programs were known as the anti-Federalist Party...later the Republican Party, then the Democrat-Republicans.

Hamilton wanted strengthen the US economy by incentivizing the money men to invest in the US Government which allowed for the paying off of our debts and to be respected in Europe with the money lenders to get a lower rate and to buy more time until the economy had a chance to develop some maturity. It worked brilliantly. We were overwhelmed with debt in the 1780s and by 1794 we were getting a premium from our bonds over Britain, France, Netherlands, etc. and America's greatness was funded by the strength of this system and the structure of our government and the respect for our legal system.

southerners opposed Alexander Hamilton's financial plan because it only helped the north and not the south so they got pissed and tried to rebell

No. he simply had ideals that many of the other founders rejected and even despised. Rightly so because many of his ideas we are NOW following and its leading to the implosion of our country. For example, Alexander Hamilton was the first to suggest that a nation could indefinitly borrow from itself and effectively print money out of thin air, never having to repay that money. He said that the government could just keep spending money forever with no consequence. Later, those who started the Fed did so believing the same thing and much later John Maynard Keynes took Hamiltons ideas and made himself famous with them.

Hamilton was also much more in favor of a big government. Actually, his beliefs about money were just one way he tried to justify big government.

So can you see why people who ADAMANTLY believed in a decentralized and democratic system that was as far away from big government as to be, as Franklin put it, "one step away from anarchy" (because anarchy is very bad, but being close to it protects people from each other while providing as much personal freedom as possible) and who also believed in being as frugal as possible might have a few disagreements with such a man?

Is he a traitor to our nation? no. Is he a traitor to the fundamental principles behind the Constitution, yes, but the Constitution protects people with different viewpoints, so its not illegal.

The only way he could be considered a traitor in the legal sense is if you judge him by the standard Senator McCarthy judged people back during the red scare. Had hamilton been alive when McCarthy was, Hamilton most definitly would have been incarcerated....but what McCarthy did was just as unconstitutional as Hamiltons ideas. In effect McCarthy was using big government to arrest people who believed in big government.

Yes

Federalist

James Alexander Hamilton was born in 1788.

The new government should pay off the millions of dollars in depts owed by the confederation government to other countries and to individual American Citizens.

Jefferson and Madison were polar opposites of Hamilton in the financial issues. The result of Jefferson's and Madison's opposition to Hamilton's financial plan was the establishments of the banking system.

Apparently, a number of people challenged Alexander Hamilton to a duel, but the best known was the one with Vice-President Aaron Burr in July 1804. Burr challenged Hamilton because Hamilton refused to apologize for gossip he spread implying Burr made nasty comments about another person, and Burr read about it in the newspaper. After unsuccessfully demanding an apology from Hamilton, the Vice-President finally challenged him to a duel to avenge his honor.

Hamilton fired first, deliberately throwing away his shot (missing Burr); the bullet was later found lodged in a tree limb fourteen feet off the ground. Burr aimed directly at Hamilton and fired. The bullet struck Hamilton in the lower abdomen, ricocheted off his ribs, damaged his internal organs, and severed his spine, immediately paralyzing him from the waist down. Hamilton died of his wounds the next day.

Hamilton was fatally shot by Aaron Burr in a duel.

Contrary to popular belief Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel, not the other way around. Burr thought Hamilton to be the sole detriment to his public career. Without Hamilton, he reasoned, he could achieve greatness.

On July 11, 1804, he shot Hamilton. Although historians today still argue about what actually happened on the ground, it's clear that Burr's shot, which came with such force that it ricocheted in Hamilton's stomach, splintering a vertebrae, proved mortal.

Hamilton died 31 hours later of those injuries, on July 12. Burr was indicted for murder in New Jersey, but the charges were dropped. However Burr would later be charged with treason...but that's another day's story.

There was different views on the constitution. Some wanted to interpret the Constitution loosely and look for as many loopholes as possible. While the other side wanted a strong central government and wanted to stick to exactly what the Constitution said.
