About this audiobook
Alexander Hamilton is considered one of the most important contributors to our constitution, and for good reason. In this speech, he addresses the handling of the constitution, and more importantly those compromises. While he acknowledges that compromises might need to be made for long-term stability’s sake, he also underlies that America had been compliant up to that point. The end called to action the need for the government subsiding over the constitution to be fair and just.

Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton was born in 1757 on the island of Nevis, in the Leeward group, British West Indies. During the Revolutionary War, he joined the staff of General Washington as secretary and aide-de-camp and soon became his close confidant as well. Hamilton was elected to the Continental Congress in 1782-83. Hamilton's part in New York's ratification of the Constitution the next year was substantial, though he felt it was deficient in many respects. Against determined opposition, he collaborated with John Jay and James Madison in writing The Federalist Papers.
