 | | Hamilton's argument to justify his National Bank was that the Constitution outlined the ends of society, justifying the means if they were necessary to achieve those ends (see Preamble to the United States Constitution). | | | The document was framed mostly by lawyers who believed they had clearly enumerated the limits of its powers. | | | Monroe promised to keep details from public knowledge, but Thomas Jefferson had no such compunctions. |

| | Hamilton's next objective was to create a Bank of the United States, modeled after the Bank of England. | | | Paper money issued under the Continental Congresses and Articles of Confederation was worthless. | | | Hamilton responded to the charge that a bank was unconstitutional by formulating the doctrine of "implied powers." He argued that Congress had the power to create a bank because the Constitution granted the federal government authority to do anything "necessary and proper" to carry out its constitutional functions (in this case its fiscal duties). |

| | With one great exception, the dictum of Guizot is hardly an exaggeration, that there is not in the Constitution of the United States an element of order, of force; of duration, which he did not powerfully contribute to introduce into it and to cause to predominate. | | | A delegate from New York, he supported Madison in inducing the Convention to exceed its delegated powers and summon the Federal Convention of 1787 at Philadelphia (himself drafting the call); he secured a place on the New York delegation; and, when his anti-Federal colleagues withdrew from the Convention, he signed the Constitution for his state. | | | It was the judgment of Chancellor James Kent, the justice of which can hardly be disputed, that all the documentary proof and the current observation of the time lead us to the conclusion that he surpassed all his contemporaries in his exertions to create, recommend, adopt and defend the Constitution of the United States. |

| | The public's weak grasp of political economy must have made Hamilton's proposals appear unnecessarily difficult. | | | Following ratification, Washington appointed Hamilton the first Secretary of the Treasury. | | | In this period he completed a stint in the Continental Congress in 1782-3 and developed his law practice, but most notable was the key role he played in the 1786 Annapolis Convention which addressed issues in interstate commerce. |

| | They adopted distinctive uniforms, complete with the words "Liberty or Death" on their hatbands, and drilled under the watchful eye of a former British officer. | | | Hamilton took up the study of the law in early 1782. | | | He came to believe that the survival of the United States depended on its ability to provide for its self-defense, and his plans to strengthen the political union, eloquently expressed during the fight to ratify the Constitution, were directly linked to his ideas on military matters. |

| | Introduction |
| | His vision of the United States as a global power stabilized by capitalism proved prophetic. | | | Yet while Hamilton and the Federalists were able to seize the reins of power in the 1790s and institute many of their programs, it is Jefferson who, in the long run, captured the imagination and love of the American people. | | | He drafted the call for a Constitutional Convention, and when the document appeared headed for defeat, he fought indefatigably for its passage. |

| | Book Reviews - Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow |
| | Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton brings to life a man who was central to the formation of the United States, but is most often remembered, if at all, for being killed in a duel with Aaron Burr in 1804. | | | Hamilton was a fiery writer and debater who believed in a strong central government, often quarreling with Jefferson, Madison, and other founding fathers. | | | This intense behavior also led to an affair with a married woman whose husband blackmailed him, and his ultimate undoing in his feud with Aaron Burr. |
