Alexander Hamilton, Revolutionary by Martha Brockenbrough
4.0
"If men were angels, no government would be necessary." --James Madison
"Alexander always feared the excesses of the mob. This is where the devil emerged. The best safeguard against this was something he called 'an aristocracy of merit': people who were intelligent, honorable and experienced."
"Ben Franklin, the oldest signer, made an observation about the sun carved into Washington's chair: 'I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting Sun.'"
