Alexander Hamilton an important man in America's history. He was a smart man with the power to charm people. He wanted to be know by everyone. Hamilton's views were a bit different than those of Jefferson. Hamilton believed America should still be economically and politically joined to Britain. He should be considered a good person for "the people" because due to his report on economy and his suggestions americans were able to understand that the debt the country had, had a solution. The solution was for America to have it's own National bank and that's how the Bank of United States was born in 1791.

I wouldn't necessarily say that he is a good or bad guy. I would say that he is definetly not a virtus guy either. I believe that Hamilton was all about what he felt was beneficial for him and the people who thought or felt as he did.Hamilton reminds me of one of my co-workers, always wanting to be in control of everything or have that one important position. As far a Jefferson thinking that Hamilton was too loose with the Constitution, I feel that Hamilton felt that would work better for him because there was such a wide range that he could add and take out what he felt was not to his benefit. Not saying that he was not a wise or intellegent man. To think the way that he did, he had to be very wise.

I think that Alexander Hamilton was the father for the foundation of the economy and federalist party of that time for the new republic. He was ahead of time. Hamilton wanted wealth for him self and for his country. He is amezing indeed! What a character of the early fathers.
