Was Alexander Hamilton a spy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I believe Hamilton was a very clever super spy ... not for the British Government ... but for a secret clique of British, German and Dutch Bankers who wanted to create their own Central Bank in America ... a private corporation modeled after the Bank of England, with the power to create money and credit.

I believe this secret clique was following a plan concocted by Meyer Amschel Rothschild, Founder of the Rothschild World Banking Cartel ... which continues to rule over global finance with absolute power.

It was Rothschild who once said ... "Give me control of a nation's money supply and I care not who makes it's laws" ... implying that the power to create money would enable him to own and control all the lawmakers.

Today the Rothschild's control the money and credit of over 200 nations by virtue of the Central Banks ... which they covertly created.

Whoever controls the money makes the rules.

Why was Alexander Hamilton for the Alien and Sedition act?

Asked by Jcsports10

In the summer of 1798, the United States was close to war with France. Many members of the Federalist Party, including President John Adams and Federalist leaders in Congress, not only believed that their Democratic-Republican opponents were pro-French, but that their vocal opposition to administration policies was dangerous to the country's security. Therefore, to silence (as well as to weaken) the Democratic-Republican party, Congressional Federalists passed four statutes which are collectively known as the Alien and Sedition Acts.

Did Alexander hamilton have any hobbies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Children didn't really have hobbies in the 18th-century; they went to school, did chores, and maybe played with friends. Some worked on family farms or in a family business. Historians tell us Alexander Hamilton liked to read. His mother had a collection of 34 books, which was a lot back then. Hamilton also helped his mother run a small store in Christiansted, St. Croix, in what was then the Danish West Indies (now part of the US Virgin Islands).

Hamilton's mother died when he was 13, at which time he went to work as a clerk at Beekman and Cruger, an import-export firm that did business with the American colonies in New England. He emigrated to America at 17 to attend school and further his education. He didn't have much time for fun.

How did Hamilton's views on human nature?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Alexander Hamilton's view of the nature of human beings was that they were guided by good intentions but could also be influenced by their own advantage. He felt that people's actions could at times be determined by their "passions" and self-interests. Some Founders words were more poetic and inspiring. Hamilton liked to deal with people as they were, not as he wished they were.

What was the name of Alexander Hamilton's favorite book?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would assume the answer is Homer since historians believe that Alexander wanted to be just like Achilles in the Iliad. Alexander always kept a copy of the Iliad with him and even kept a dagger under his pillow just like Achilles. In addition, there were certainly not many authors during that time. So I am logically guessing that it is Homer.

What were the differences between Hamilton and Jefferson's views of the Constitution and the powers given to Congrees?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jefferson's views differed from Hamilton's because Jefferson believed that implied powers are the powers that are "absolutely necessary" to carry out expressed powers, but Hamilton thought it meant that they were not expressly forbidden in the Constitution.

The conflict that took shape in the 1790s between the Federalists and the Anti-federalists exercised a profound impact on American history. The Federalists, led by Alexander Hamilton, who had married into the wealthy Schuyler family, represented the urban mercantile interests of the seaports; the Anti-federalists, led by Thomas Jefferson, spoke for the rural and southern interests. The debate between the two concerned the power of the central government versus that of the states, with the Federalists favoring the former and the Anti-federalists advocating states' rights.

Hamilton sought a strong central government acting in the interests of commerce and industry. He brought to public life a love of efficiency, order and organization. In response to the call of the House of Representatives for a plan for the "adequate support of public credit," he laid down and supported principles not only of the public economy, but of effective government.

Hamilton pointed out that America must have credit for industrial development, commercial activity and the operations of government. It must also have the complete faith and support of the people. There were many who wished to repudiate the national debt or pay only part of it. Hamilton, however insisted upon full payment and also upon a plan by which the federal government took over the unpaid debts of the states incurred during the Revolution.

Hamilton also devised a Bank of the United States, with the right to establish branches in different parts of the country. He sponsored a national mint, and argued in favor of tariffs, using a version of an "infant industry" argument: that temporary protection of new firms can help foster the development of competitive national industries. These measures -- placing the credit of the federal government on a firm foundation and giving it all the revenues it needed -- encouraged commerce and industry, and created a solid phalanx of businessmen who stood firmly behind the national government.

Jefferson advocated a decentralized agrarian republic. He recognized the value of a strong central government in foreign relations, but he did not want it strong in other respects. Hamilton's great aim was more efficient organization, whereas Jefferson once said "I am not a friend to a very energetic government." Hamilton feared anarchy and thought in terms of order; Jefferson feared tyranny and thought in terms of freedom.

The United States needed both influences. It was the country's good fortune that it had both men and could, in time, fuse and reconcile their philosophies. One clash between them, which occurred shortly after Jefferson took office as secretary of state, led to a new and profoundly important interpretation of the Constitution. When Hamilton introduced his bill to establish a national bank, Jefferson objected. Speaking for those who believed in states' rights, Jefferson argued that the Constitution expressly enumerates all the powers belonging to the federal government and reserves all other powers to the states. Nowhere was it empowered to set up a bank.

Hamilton contended that because of the mass of necessary detail, a vast body of powers had to be implied by general clauses, and one of these authorized Congress to "make all laws which shall be necessary and proper" for carrying out other powers specifically granted. The Constitution authorized the national government to levy and collect taxes, pay debts and borrow money. A national bank would materially help in performing these functions efficiently. Congress, therefore, was entitled, under its implied powers, to create such a bank. Washington and the Congress accepted Hamilton's view -- and an important precedent for an expansive interpretation of the federal government's authority
