  • Alexander Hamilton's Advice To Alexander Hamilton

    If I could give advice to anyone it would be Alexander Hamilton. There is so much advice he could use throughout history like the fact that i would tell him that when Eliza and Angelica tell him to take a break that it’s in his best interest that he listens, I’d also tell him not to let Philip go to the duel with George Eacker, I’d tell him not to go to the duel with Burr, I’d tell him to not let Laurens go alone, and I’d tell him to stay alive for Eliza. My first piece of advice I’d give him is to listen to Eliza and Angelica when they tell him to take a break. If Alexander listens to Eliza and Angelica he would’ve never had the affair with Maria Reynolds and he wouldn’t have had to go through all the efforts of writing the Reynolds Pamphlet and then he and Eliza would’ve never had to fight for how long they did.

    So, if helping the people who are struggling, puts their citizens lives at risk, they usually choose not to. Such as America not helping the citizens in North Korea, if America were to help that would put them at risk of starting a war and no one would want that. Barry R. Posen writes in the New York Times writes, “North Korea may have as many as 250 missile launchers. Some of which could fire nuclear tipped missiles. If some of these mobile units were dispersed at the time of an American attack, it’s unlikely that the US could destroy all of them before one fires a missile”.
