No one wants their freedoms silenced, stolen, seized or threatened. Our nation fought for eight years during the American Revolution to break Britain's hold on Americans. Once the war was over and America was independent, a plan had to be developed. Where were all these free people going to go? Would they settle across the country and live like the Indians who inhabited the places around them? This may not have been a bad idea, but just as the Indians were kicked out of their homes by the Americans, any other foreign power would have ended up doing the same thing to the Americans. Helen Keller makes a good point when she says, “The most pathetic person in the world is the one who has sight but no vision.” » According to Karl Walling, Hamilton had a vision, and his vision was to establish "a new world order." centuries, a republican empire, which would provide an effective moral alternative to the true Machiavellian regimes of its time. This quote could be interpreted negatively or positively. The negative would be that Hamilton wanted a monarchy in the form of the new United States. The positive would be that at this time every other nation or tribe used some type of monarchy in their own regions; everyone around the Americans worked like a Machiavellian people. America had to be different. The word Machiavellian refers to someone who tries to achieve their goals through cunning, scheming, and unscrupulous methods. (Parliament and the king were really only looking to benefit themselves.) A republican empire was to show that we were no longer just a small, insignificant colony. The reason Hamilton chose to use the British example was because they had stood the test of time. Hamilton used traces of the British monarchy as bases that hit middle of paper......didn't cross state lines, no one really wanted to trust it again because of what happened with Jefferson. While not all of Hamilton's ideas sit well with many people, one cannot ignore the fact that some sort of leadership was needed, and Hamilton provided it. Hamilton helped shape our nation into what it is today, whether for better or for worse, but we still stand. Order and solid foundations were needed for America to stand the test of time.
