Alexander Hamilton was a founding father of the United States, chief staff aide to George Washington, and one of the most influential interpreters of the U.S. Constitution. After the American Revolution, Hamilton believed it was necessary to eradicate the debt we owed, and to establish a nationally flowing currency to continue taking in revenue. Thomas Jefferson also believed the national debt should be eliminated. Jefferson, like Hamilton, was a founding father. He also wrote The Declaration of Independence, and was the third president of the United States. Jefferson and Hamilton’s ways of eliminating the debt were extremely different, and it is evident that the two men had shockingly different views for the United States of America.

In the 1790s, the first Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton and fellow Federalists wanted to protect the United State's economic future through several different means; namely, the creation of a national bank, maintaining good financial credit, and by developing a lasting economic system. The United States was in turmoil, still rebuilding from their recent detachment from Britain. The United States government was in shambles, its economy arguably in an even worse one. It was for that reason that president George Washington elected Alexander Hamilton to develop a sound economic plan for the United States. Hamilton and his fellow Federalists had many ideas for improving the economy; however, the Republicans or Anti-Federalists, were disinclined to agree with their federalist counterparts due to opposing views on government authority. This led to many debates between sides and ultimately an ingenious economic foundation.
Washington said that we must avoid forming political parties because it would separate our country. We ignored him then, but look at where we are now, boy was he right. Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were two people of separate political parties who disagreed on almost every matter. Hamilton used to be poor and grew up in St.Croix. When he was sent to the mainland he became the loud mouthed Secretary of Treasury under Washington’s leadership. Whereas Jefferson was born very rich in Virginia, and became the Secretary of State while Washington was incharge. Thomas Jefferson, however, was not as good as Hamilton at speaking in front of the crowds. Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson had complete opposite opinions regarding the ideal economy and best type of government.
Of the founding fathers of our nation, history often remembers the ones who shaped our nation the most. Of course, history is shaped by those that survive, and so the hundreds of accomplishments that Alexander Hamilton was able to achieve in his short life time mostly go unremembered. The United State’s first Secretary of Treasury shaped the early economy of the nation in ways that still affect us today, yet, before the hit broadway musical about him, most people remembered him as the guy on the ten-dollar bill and the guy that Aaron Burr shot. Alexander Hamilton did so much more than that. He rose from the bottom, an illegitimate child and orphan by age 14, almost to the top, the right hand man of George Washington for several years.
Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were two important leaders in the economic development of the United States. Although the problems jeff and ham wanted to fix were very similar, their ideas on how to solve them were completely different. Jeff and ham were the most influential in American economic growth, however, Hamilton most assured the future growth of the united states.
With President George Washington leading the nation, there were two visionaries who helped shape our nation. Their opposing views aide in understanding where the Government stood and the economic visions of these two men in the 1790’s. Alexander Hamilton vision of leading the nation was to push the country forward, organizing, and more modern. Thomas Jefferson was an agrarian who believed in keeping order and only that congress should only take action when absolutely necessary. On December 14, 1790 Hamilton, the Secretary of the Treasury’s Report on a National Bank was introduced. Being an admirer of the Bank of England, he believed strongly in his report knowing there would be opposing views. Hamilton also introduced the “Report on Manufactures,”
Hamilton was one of the greatest contributors to the economy of the United States. He became an important member of the first Cabinet of the first President as the first Secretary of the Treasury (1789-1795). As the first Secretary of the Treasury, he brought about significant changes in the economy. Many modern facilities, like credit creation, were introduced in the United States by him. In the year of 1789, he presented five extremely important reports before the United States that ultimately shaped its
Politicians for two hundred years have invoked the Founding Fathers to defend their beliefs. It is understandable that as a society we place figures like Washington, Franklin and Jefferson on a pedestal, they were key figures in the United States achieving its independence. Implying that the Founding Fathers ideas were in concurrence with each other though is something that is erroneously done far too often. These men, while intellectual giants in their own right, found little common ground on public policy. Heated debates, slander, and disagreement are as defining of the construction of the country as anything. Alexander Hamilton was perhaps the most volatile and contentious of the Founding Fathers. His upbringing played a significant role in how he reacted to insults or perceived slights. His feud with Thomas Jefferson is well documented and analysis of their feud has been exhausted. The two men had diametrically opposing views on the future of the country and they were both highly defensive of their views.
Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Woodrow Wilson all shaped the American government in their own way. Their ambition, optimism, intellect, and courage made them widely influential in driving the United States in a certain direction. Alexander Hamilton, a Federalist, believed in a strong central government. He would use his intellect and debate skills to convince states to ratify the Constitution. Woodrow Wilson became the first of the modern-day Democrats. Someone who believes the Federal Government has a significant role in curbing out corruption in big business, breaking the gap between “the haves and the haves not,” as well as working to fight against the growing power and wealth of a very few individuals (Byker, 2002).
As a Federalist, Alexander Hamilton had a concrete image of America. He proposed and focused on the creation of a strong central government and a generalized interpretation of the Constitution which further emphasizes on a more government based control of the people. In order to run a government more efficiently, Hamilton envisioned a political system run by the educated which were at that time men of the aristocracy. Basing off the Bank of

Alexander Hamilton had a 5 point financial plan for this country which was great and worked real well for the country. This made it so the country was more financially sound and economically safe. The first point of Hamilton’s plan was to tax whiskey. Americans loved whiskey and why not put tax on such a wanted item by many Americans. Yet the farmers in western Pennsylvania were furiated at the fact that there was to be a tax on whiskey. In fact they started an active rebellion against the tax agents. Hamilton then convinced Washington to lead 13,000 militia troops into western Pennsylvania. This put down the rebellion and also was quite significant because now the government showed that they could
