What do you think these quotes by Alexander Hamilton?

[Juxtapose]

"I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and in the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and on this very account, would afford a colourable pretext to claim more than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? Alexander Hamilton, Federalist, no. 84"

"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual State. In a single State, if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair." -Alexander Hamilton (Federalist 28)"

I dig it.

I dislike it.

His view on the Bill of Rights did not prevail. With respect to his argument about the right of the people to revolt, that seems like an inescapable conclusion to everyone except the most diehard sheep.

Hamilton was an urbanite elitist financier and his knowledge of "the common man" was limited and biased. That said, his idea to have the feds assume colonial war debt was audacious and visionary. he's a complicated fellow with an AMAZING origin story!

Not sure why you fucks love the federalist papers so much. It’s literal horseshit. Lin Manuel Miranda can suck cock. Lol

It's arguably the greatest minds of that generation brilliantly coming up with new forms of government.

You comparing people like Alexander Hamilton to an overly persecuted far right winger who thinks Hillary Clinton is a lizard is.. strange.

Clearly you have no taste if you don't recognize the brilliance of The Federalist papers. We need to go back to the founding father's vision instead of this Marxist bullshit.

Overly prosecuted. He wasn’t prosecuted. He was sued by new town and lost.

One of the biggest witch hunts in modern history. Shameful.
