In this episode of the American Founding, Dr. Cost will take a close look at the political theory of Alexander Hamilton. The author of most of the Federalist essays, Hamilton nevertheless did not participate at the Constitutional Convention nearly as much as James Madison, Gouverneur Morris, or others. Still, he offered a boldly elitist theory of constitutional government. While it was wildly out of step with the rest of the Convention, Hamilton would go on to pursue his vision of republicanism during the Washington Administration, which makes his ideas important to consider carefully.
