Answer 2

Alexander Hamilton did a lot of things. Hard to say what his most noted accomplishment was. He was a founding father, one of the three writers of the Federalist Papers (along with James Madison and John Jay), the first Secretary of the Treasury, and it was due to Alexander Hamilton that Thomas Jefferson became president (Jefferson was tied for President and Alexander Hamilton persuaded a member of congress to switch his vote, causing Jefferson to become our third President).
