Dolley Madison

political issues appear to hold. America is not as strong in mutual unification of freedom but rather more, every man for himself, which is a predecessor of what Yates predicted. In a way his want of more representatives, is excellently disprove by Madison and Hamilton showing that you need less representatives because with more there is udder chaos, and no real solution can be achieved with so many people and opinions. Altogether, Yates’s letter proved very eye opening and insightful for…

Alexander Hamilton is one of the most important political figures in American history.

What do you think of when you hear the term “Founding Father”? Most likely you think of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson or even Benjamin Franklin, but there are a few others missing from that list. One of the Founding Fathers who might be known to some, but whose face everyone knows, is Alexander Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton was known as many things, a lawyer, soldier, statesman, and the very first Secretary of the Treasury in the U.S. His actions, not only helped form the First National…

The Revolution of 1800 In 1800, the nation was faced with the decision between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams once again. The presidential election of 1800 was an intricate process that tested the ability for whether or not national leadership could peacefully pass from one political party to the other. President Adams had led the Federalist Party to a secured triumph in the past election. However, the election of 1800 steered in the rule of the Democratic-Republican Party, while leading to…

He was raised in squalor. Alexander’s father left him when he was ten, and his mother died when Alexander was twelve. Alexander and his brother, James, went to live with their cousin, who killed himself few months later. By 14, Alexander was in charge of a trading charter. When he was 17, a hurricane destroyed his…

To properly answer this question, we first have to identify what exactly the founding fathers vision actually was. Now, we obviously can't say for certain, as they lived over two hundred years ago, but we can formulate an educated guess by examining quotes from the founding fathers, their actions, and the constitution itself. Although, even in their quotes, the founding fathers do seem to contradict each other, as well as occasionally themselves. However, amongst the other contradictory and some…

Hamilton took note of this issue and tackled it head on by finding two other men: John Jay (The first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court) and James Madison to aid him in writing a series of essays in support of the new Constitution. These essays that Hamilton and his colleagues wrote under the single name “Publius” are most commonly known as the Federalist Papers, and their job was to inform the general…

the Embargo Act was passed, it was repealed and Madison replaced it with a law called the Nonintercourse Act of 1809, making it only illegal for Americans to trade with Britain and France. These two laws show the presidents’ resistance to violence in favor of a more peaceful, economical means of foreign policy. B) The Louisiana Purchase is a poor example of how Jefferson and Madison use economic policy to carry out foreign policy because Madison had little to nothing to do with…
