Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Illustrated. Award-winning author Teri Kanefields biography of Alexander Hamilton for young readers is the first in the Making of America series.The America that Alexander Hamilton knew was largely agricultural and built on slave labor. He envisioned something else: a multi-racial, urbanized, capitalistic America with a strong central government. He believed that such an America would be a land of opportunity for the poor and the newcomers. But Hamiltons vision put him at odds with his archrivals who envisioned a pastoral America of small towns, where governments were local, states would control their own destiny, and the federal government would remain small and weak.The disputes that arose during Americas first decades continued through American history to our present day. Over time, because of the systems Hamilton set up and the ideas he left, his vision won out. Here is the story that epitomizes the American dream-a poor immigrant who made good in America. In the end, Hamilton rose from poverty through his intelligence and ability, and did more to shape our country than any of his contemporaries.Related subjects and concepts discussed in the book include:Law and Legal ConceptsDue ProcessBill of RightsFreedom of Speech and the PressOriginalism / Nonoriginalism (theories of constitutional interpretation)GovernmentChecks and BalancesDemocracyElectoral CollegeRepublicFinancial ConceptsCapitalismCreditInflationInterestMercantilismSecurities: Stocks and BondsTariffsTaxesMiscellaneousDemagoguesDuelingPastoralismIncludes archival imagesAbout the SeriesThe Making of America series traces the constitutional history of the United States through overlapping biographies of American men and women. The debates that raged when our nation was founded have been argued ever since: How should the Constitution be interpreted? What is the meaning, and where are the limits of personal liberty? What is the proper role of the federal government? Who should be included in we the people? Each biography in the series tells the story of an American leader who helped shape the United States of today.The Making of America SeriesAlexander Hamilton (#1)Andrew Jackson (#2)Abraham Lincoln (#3)Susan B.
