Alex hamilton is One of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, Alexander
Hamilton is best known as the principal author of the classic work on
constitutional government, The Federalist (1787-88). However, his
enduring influence on American matters of state lies equally with his
reports to Congress on the financial affairs of the Federal government.
Hamilton is chiefly responsible for the design and establishment of
Federal institutions, and above all for the financial system which
helped consolidate the states into a nation, and then put that nation on
its path toward an industrial economy. Hamilton is often considered the
rival of Thomas Jefferson, for while Jefferson promoted a democratic
agrarian society, and sided with France in matters of foreign policy,
Hamilton foresaw a manufacturing economy founded on secure financial
principles, and he sought for the United States a government closer to
the British model.
