Original Intents fully explains the political, economic, and constitutional ideas of Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison as their thinking developed from the American Revolution through the early 1790s. It shows how their ideas developed and changed as they engaged witheach other and eventually began to have serious debates and arguments. The book shows that there is no single original meaning or intent in the Constitution and that Hamilton sought to build a republican United States that was completely incompatible with the republic that Jefferson and Madisonwanted. By the early 1790s the two Virginians had come to despise Hamilton and detest his vision, feelings he fully shared about them and their values and ideas. | Original Intents by Andrew Shankman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
