Kindle Notes & Highlights
The Federalist Papers stand today as some of the most important commentaries on the Constitution.
Hamilton justified his refusal to endorse either Adams or Burr by saying that the public good was more important than loyalty to a party. Yes, he had helped build the Federalist Party, but he had also helped create the United States, and the country was dearer to him than his party.
He remained terrified that the nation would come undone by men who pledged greater allegiance to their state or region than to the republic.
the bullet that killed Hamilton also killed Burr.
