[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 933487, member: 7966"] That was bit tongue-in-cheek. I know his history well and his influence of the form of government that eventually was put in via the US Constitution. I understand he wrote much of the Federalist papers on the side that supported a Centralized National government and that he misleadingly named his side the Federalists (he did not believe in a Federal form of government). He wanted the United States to be a monarchy and he himself desired to be the king of the United States. (A bit of the political rhetoric from those times). Hamilton was the self-proclaimed head of the "true Anti-Federalist" forces in America during the formative years of the US Constitution and he was a chief opponent of the Articles of Confederation which did not support a strong national Government and did not support a National Bank which eventually led to the Fed we have today. The Bill of Rights were put in place to protect the rest of the country from Alexander Hamilton and his followers who wanted to set up a British type of government in America ... keeping in mind that Britain was a Monarchy at that time. I do agree if it had not been Hamilton, someone else would have stepped in and taken the flag for the Federalist party ... however, he was the figurehead and therefore gets all the blame. I have read a couple of books about Hamilton and at least one each of Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison are are universally agreed to be the main Founding Fathers. Many don't consider Hamilton to be a Founding father because his ideas are so different from the other Founding Fathers. [/QUOTE]
