 He
intentionally fired into the air, but his political rival, former
Vice-President Aaron Burr, took deadly aim and fatally shot him in a
duel JULY 11, 1804.
Born in the West Indies, he fought in the Revolution and was aide-de-camp to General Washington.
He helped write the Constitution and convinced States to ratify it by writing 51 of the 85 "Federalist Papers."
His name was Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the U.S. Treasury.
Alexander Hamilton had written in "The Farmer Refuted," February 23, 1775:
"The Supreme Being gave
existence to man, together with the means of preserving and
beautifying that existence...and invested him with an inviolable right
to personal liberty and personal safety."
Alexander Hamilton continued:
"The sacred rights of
mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty
records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of
human nature, by the Hand of the Divinity itself, and can never be
erased or obscured by mortal power."
Alexander Hamilton concluded:
"Good and wise men, in
all ages...have supposed that the Deity, from the relations we stand in
to Himself, and to each other, has constituted an eternal and
immutable law, which is indispensably obligatory upon all
mankind...This is what is called the law of nature...dictated by God
himself."
In a speech at the
Constitutional Convention, June 22, 1787, Alexander Hamilton spoke of
the biblical concept that mankind has a sinful nature:
"Take mankind as they
are, and what are they governed by? Their passions. There may be in
every government a few choice spirits, who may act from more worthy
motives. One great error is that we suppose mankind is more honest that
they are."
After the Constitution was written, 1787, Alexander Hamilton wrote:
"I sincerely esteem it a
system which without the finger of God, never could have been
suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests."
Alexander Hamilton stated:
"Liberty is a gift of
the beneficent Creator to the whole human race...Civil liberty...cannot
be wrested from any people, without the most manifest violation of
justice."
On April 16, 1802, Alexander Hamilton wrote to James Bayard:
"Let an association be
formed to be denominated 'The Christian Constitutional Society,' its
object to be first: The support of Christian religion; second: The
support of the United States."
