'''Alexander Hamilton''' (January 11, 1757 - July 12, 1804) was one of the most important, and most [[conservative]] and [[Patriotic|nationalistic]], of the [[Founding Fathers]] of the [[United States]].  After wartime service as chief of staff to General [[George Washington]], he became a leading lawyer in [[New York]].  He called for a strong new [[constitution]] to replace the weak national government, and in 1788 he wrote half the ''[[Federalist Papers]]'', which mobilized supporters of the Constitution and continues to be the single most influential interpretation of [[republicanism]] and what the Constitution means.  He was a leading intellectual of his time, and the driving force of the [[Washington D.C.|Washington]] Administration that shaped the young nation.
