Title: The Challenges of Crafting an Alexander Hamilton Research Paper

Crafting a research paper on Alexander Hamilton is no small feat. As one delves into the life and
contributions of this Founding Father, challenges emerge that require in-depth research, critical
analysis, and eloquent expression. The complexity of the subject matter, coupled with the high
standards expected in academic writing, can make the task quite daunting for many students.

years in the Caribbean to his pivotal role in shaping the United States' financial system, there is a
wealth of information to sift through. The task of distilling this vast array of historical details into a
coherent and engaging narrative requires not only time but also a keen eye for relevance and
significance.

Furthermore, delving into the political, economic, and social contexts of Hamilton's era adds another
layer of complexity. Thoroughly understanding the intricacies of the late 18th and early 19th
centuries is crucial for providing a nuanced analysis of Hamilton's actions and ideologies. This
demands not only a grasp of historical events but also the ability to connect them to the broader
narrative of Hamilton's life.

Additionally, the expectations for academic writing can be overwhelming. A well-crafted thesis
demands not only factual accuracy but also a compelling argument supported by scholarly sources.
Achieving the right balance between primary and secondary sources, while maintaining a clear and
coherent writing style, can be a formidable task.

And what next. When confronted with this, Hamilton admitted to the affair, but he also insisted that

Reynolds as proof. The writers of the new Constitution were clearly trying their utmost to create a

vote of 184 to 84, to ratify the Constitution because of the lack of a Bill of Rights and in the fear

relations with Britain. In short, it should be a democratic republic, in which voters choose their
representatives and in which a binding constitution clearly circumscribes the room for manoeuvre for
administrators. Three years before his duel with Burr, Philip had confronted a New York lawyer

County, Virginia. Hamilton was one of the most influential interpreters and promoters of the
Constitution, the founder of the nation's financial system, and the founder of the first American

For me, the collection of short essays that make up The Federalist Papers was one of those books.
After the war of 1812, Madison, Albert Gallatin, and other former opponents of the late Hamilton
revived some of his federalizing programs, such as infrastructure, tariffs, and a standing Army and
Navy. A coalition, the formative Federalist Party, arose around Hamilton, and another coalition, the
formative Democratic-Republican Party, arose around Thomas Jefferson and James Madison before
1792; these coalitions differed strongly over domestic fiscal goals and Hamiltonian foreign policy of
extensive trade and friendly relations with Britain. These men were brilliant and I am incredibly
thankful they existed at the Time they did to allow us the future we live in. Alexander Hamilton,
James Madison, and John Jay, writing under the pseudonym “The Federalist,” published 77 essays in
three New York newspapers between October 1787 and April 1788. The Constitution had, of course,
also been required in junior high school along with that of the State of Illinois, but I much preferred
the level of discussion in high school. Most interesting, Madison, in 62, is describing the need for
stable figures in the senate who are older, have longer terms of office and represent each state with
equal votes. Credit Line: Library of Congress, Manuscript Division, Alexander Hamilton Papers.

first 30 of the federalists or so, anyway) was a deep red mass market paperback. Or, put in another
form, should we institute a Federal Constitution which would bind all states to a common cause. Did
the Federalists believe that the States had the right to secede. And in civil war or revolutionary
language with a similar meaning is found in Madison’s later restatement of his claim that the states
have a checking power over the national government. As Hamilton, Madison, and Jay review the
different constitutional arrangements attempted by different states throughout history and around the
world, they find many of said arrangements wanting. If men were angels, no government would be
necessary. The arguments were hard to comprehend at times and I really had to bear down in order

malignent designs of scheming politicians and power-hungry despots. I also spent roughly one
quarter of my reading time looking up words in the dictionary. But we also need to fight for what we
have had, imperfect as it has been. Non-stop indeed. In The Federalist No. 59 of February 22, 1788
(“Concerning the Power of Congress to Regulate the Election of Members”), Hamilton deploys that
vast energy of his in addressing objections to the provision in Article I, clause 1, section 4, that the
federal Congress may make or alter the regulations that the states set up for the holding of elections
for U.S. senators and representatives. His famous Federalist No. 10 is as deep as anything in
Montesquieu, Marx, Machiavelli, or any other political philosopher whose name starts with an M. If
angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.

is using the seeming likelihood of a certain outcome as an argument; but unfortunately for us reality
doesn't care what we find easy to believe, or what we think likely to happen. It also gives a clear
picture of what said Founding Fathers were up against - unbridled, often unprincipled, and outright
rude opposition to pretty much every last bit of the Constitution at every turn. On the one hand, it's
one of the foundational writings of American history; on the other hand, it's boring.

import tariff and whiskey tax. But despite all I’ve said, I still think this book is well worth reading.
The 18th century intellectual arguments put forth in these essays make some demands on the reader
(this is not a beach read), but it is time well invested. Exposed in an affair with Maria Reynolds,
Hamilton resigned to return to Constitutional law and advocacy of strong federalism. Also, the style
of writing is very typical of the time - the English they use is beautiful, but for a modern reader
rather longwinded. Once the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed, however, he energetically
supported the patriot cause. People elected him to the Continental congress, but he resigned to
