Book Description
Essay from the year 2006 in the subject History - America, grade: 100%, University College of Bangor, course: History 103, language: English, abstract: Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton had two very different visions for America. For Jefferson, “the natural rights of man”, for which he so favored, were enjoyed by Jefferson’s ancient tribal ancestors of Europe during Jefferson’s life by some of the tribal peoples of North America, and were written about sixty years before Jefferson’s birth by John Locke, whose writings were widely known and often referenced in pre-revolutionary America. Locke wrote that “All men by nature are equal...in that equal right that every man hath to his natural freedom, without being subjected to the will or authority of any other man;...being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.” and, as for man’s role in government, Locke wrote that “Men being...by nature all free, equal and independent, no one can be put out of his estate and subjected to the political power of another without his own consent which is done by agreeing with other men, to join and unite into a community for their comfortable, safe, and peaceable living...in a secure enjoyment of their properties...” [...]

Book Description
Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton--two of the most influential Founding Fathers--were also fierce rivals with two opposing political philosophies and two radically different visions for America. While Jefferson is better remembered today, it is actually Hamilton’s political legacy that has triumphed--a legacy that has subverted the Constitution and transformed the federal government into the very leviathan state that our forefathers fought against in the American Revolution. How did we go from the Jeffersonian ideal of limited government to the bloated imperialist system of Hamilton’s design? Acclaimed economic historian, Thomas J. DiLorenzo reveals how Hamilton, first as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention and later as the nation’s first and most influential treasury secretary, masterfully promoted an agenda of nationalist glory and interventionist economics. These core beliefs did not die with Hamilton in his fatal duel with Aaron Burr, but were carried on through his political heirs. The Hamiltonian legacy wrested control into the hands of the federal government by inventing the myth of the Constitution’s “implied powers, transforming state governments from Jeffersonian bulwarks of liberty to beggars for federal crumbs. It also devised a national banking system that imposes boom-and-bust cycles on the American economy; saddled Americans with a massive national debt and oppressive taxation, and pushed economic policies that lined the pockets of the wealthy and created a government system built on graft, spoils, and patronage. By debunking the Hamiltonian myths, DiLorenzo exposes an uncomfortable truth: the American people are no longer the masters of their government but its servants. Only by restoring a system based on Jeffersonian ideals can Hamilton’s curse be lifted, at last.
