The fact of the matter is, what the founding fathers think has absolutely no influence or weight today, as they are all dead. If the founding fathers were presumably brought back, for some ungodly reason, they would probably be too transfixed with iPhones to do anything relevant or useful. The founding fathers’ opinions on today’s state of affairs is irrelevant, but they do have lasting influence, especially Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton was one of the most influential founding fathers, who created many hallmarks of America today, despite having lived over two hundred twenty years ago.…

    Throughout this all-encompassing novel, Joseph J. Ellis is depicting what truly happened in prominent political events rather than the common ideas. He extensively goes into great depths rather than merely scraping the surface of these phenomenal affairs. Specifically, he elaborates on events such as the Duel between Hamilton and Burr, The Compromise of 1790, the plague of slavery, George Washington 's presidency, and the rocky friendship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
