Some might describe Alexander Hamilton as a ladies' man; others would say he was a common womanizer. Hamilton had numerous affairs but wasn't always cautious about whom he chose as a partner. Once, a married woman and her husband extorted quite a bit of money from Hamilton by threatening him with physical harm and by exposing his affairs to his wife.
The environment that Madison wrote this in needed to explain how the new constitution and republican form of federal government would have greater stability than the previous continental congress. The paper also needed to explain how the system would protect against the competing factions drowning out the rights of minorities and the public good. It also needed to explain how it would halt mob rule. All issues that had posed problems in the self-government of the colonies previous, during and after the revolution of 1776. Madison sees faction as an unavoidable in a polity of maximum liberty, and consequently seeks to minimize the violence of faction through the system; in other words controlling the effects of faction. Representative government is the process by which Madison seeks to temper this. For more information visit the Related Link.

Rachel Faucette was born on the island of Nevis about 1729. At the age of 15 or 16 she and her mother moved to the island of St. Croix. A year later it is thought that her mother pushed Rachel into a marriage with much older man, John Lavien. It was not a happy marriage and after the birth of a child she decided she could no longer live with him and left. At that, Lavien had her jailed for not behaving like a wife. When released several months later, he thought she would come home. Rachel had other ideas. She returned to the Nevis / St. Kitts islands in 1750 where she later met James Hamilton. She lived with him to him for about 13 years and that relationship produced two children, James and Alexander. There is no record of their marriage but on one occasion when they acted as godparents where they represented themselves as James and Rachel Hamilton. In 1759, perhaps unbeknownst to Rachel, Lavien obtained a divorce from Rachel. This divorce permitted John to marry again but Rachel was never allowed to remarry. In 1765, James Hamilton needed to go to St. Croix for an extended business trip and took Rachel and their two sons. Once on St. Croix, something happened between Rachel and James and they split. Some think that the news of the divorce in 1759 finally reached Rachel and James and that was the source of the problem. A a single mother now, Rachel needing to support herself, set up a store where her son Alex got his first taste of business. However, in early 1768 Rachel came down with fever and dies on February 19, 1768.History has been lukewarm in their treatment of Rachel. Some have reviewed the facts known about her life and concluded she was unfaithful and loose. But a closer examination to the details points to a less sensational understanding of her behavior. In the end , the impact of her legacy Alexander Hamilton, suggests she must have done a pretty good job in her role as a nurturer and parent during the developmental years of one great American.
Aaron Burr exchanged several letters with Alexander Hamilton requesting an apology for comments Hamilton was purported to have made at a recent dinner party. The exact statements are unknown, but a published letter written by a Dr. Cooper implies they were potentially libelous.The final dispute hinged on a single published sentence: "I could detail to you a still more despicable opinion which General Hamilton has expressed of Mr. Burr."Hamilton supplied the previous sentence, to put Dr. Cooper's quote in context: "Genl. Hamilton and Judge Kent have declared in substance that they looked upon Mr. Burr to be a dangerous man, and one who ought not to be trusted with the reins of Government."Hamilton then pointed out that Cooper had not attributed any particular "still more despicable opinion" to him (Hamilton); that he had no idea what the remark(s) could have been, but whatever it was, he believed it to be within the realm of comments one would normally make about a political enemy. Hamilton refused to apologize.Burr's initial approach seems to have been relatively straightforward and non-confrontational, but Hamilton's response was taunting and Burr's anger eventually escalated to the point of challenging Hamilton to a duel.

People & EventsThe Whiskey RebellionNearly twenty years after the revolutionary War began, the United States government faced a small-scale revolution by some of its own citizens. As in the previous war, taxes were a central issue. And Alexander Hamilton understood that putting down this rebellion was critical to the life of the nation.In order to create a self-supporting and effective government, Treasury Secretary Hamilton knew he needed to find a steady source of revenue. He proposed an excise tax on whiskey produced in the United States, and Congress instituted the levy in 1791. In general, the citizens of that time felt negatively toward the idea of taxation. The farmers of western Pennsylvania, many of whom distilled whiskey and profited from its sale, proved outright hostile to the idea.In July of 1794, a force of disaffected whiskey rebels attacked and destroyed the home of a tax inspector. The rebellion grew in numbers, if not in actions, and threatened to spread to other states. Hamilton knew that the presence of a large and potentially hostile force in Pennsylvania could not be tolerated. If the government were to survive, it would have to show itself capable of keeping control.Hamilton advocated the use of military force; President George Washington instead put state militias on the ready and sent in negotiators. When talks proved fruitless, Washington acquiesced to Hamilton's view. A force of 13,000 militia troops, led by Hamilton and Virginia governor Henry Lee, marched into western Pennsylvania.By the time the federal force arrived, the rebellion had collapsed and most of the rebels had fled. Two men were convicted of treason and later pardoned by Washington. Alexander Hamilton was elated. The fledgling federal government had proven it could keep order -- a necessity if the U.S. was to avoid instability. But many, in particular Thomas Jefferson, thought that this resort to military force was a dangerous mistake. It convinced them that Hamilton was a dangerous man.
