What is Alexander Hamilton known for?

Answer 1

--- he was a Constitution signer, and the sole signer from New York, going against the political grain of his own state.

--- he wrote 51 of the 85 Federalist Papers, devised the Papers, and recruited Jay and Madison.

--- he was the nation's first Secretary of Treasury, and as such he drew up policies in use today. He got the nation out of debt; by 1795 the nation had an excellent credit abroad. Without Hamilton's work Jefferson would have been unable to carry out the Louisiana Purchase.

--- he established the US Customs Service, the US Coast Guard (its later name), the US Mint, and the First National Bank of the US, which was the forerunner for the Federal Reserves

--- he was a part of the court case Croswell v People, which involved libel, and his argument in the case greatly influences how we try libel cases (truth and intent protect you)

--- he helped to establish the New York Evening-Post

Not bad, considering his origins.
