Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804) was a Founding Father of the United States, serving as the first Secretary of the Treasury. He was instrumental in establishing the nation's financial system and authored many of the Federalist Papers, which advocated for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Hamilton's vision for a strong central government and a robust economy laid the groundwork for modern American fiscal policies. His life ended tragically in a duel with Aaron Burr, but his legacy continues to influence American political and economic thought.
