"The fabric of American empire ought to rest on the solid basis of THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE. The streams of national power ought to flow from that pure, original fountain of all legitimate authority." — Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 22, December 14, 1787
Did you know?:
Sec. Hamilton was an active abolitionist in the 1700's?
He formed his own artillery company while a teen-ager?
He was ineligible to become President, having been born in the West Indies...ironically, this gave him a national view, having no previous attachment to a particular state.
Interesting. I'd always heard that Hamilton was Scottish-born.
