| | ALEXANDER HAMILTON - LoveToKnow Article on ALEXANDER HAMILTON |
| | His father, James Hamilton, a Scottish merchant of St Christopher, was a younger son of Alexander Hamilton of Grange, Lanarkshire, by Elizabeth, daughter of Sir R. Pollock. | | | Hamilton stigmatized his great opponent as a political fanatic; but actualist as be claimed to be, Hamilton could not see, or would not concede, the predominating forces in American life, and would uncompromisingly have minimized the two great political conquests of the colonial periodlocal self- government and democracy. | | | With one great exception, the dictum of Guizot is hardly an exaggeration, that there is not in the Constitution of the United States an element of order, of force; of duration, which he did not powerfully contribute to introduce into it and to cause to predominate. |

| | Assess the reign of Alexander II |
| | Alexander II had always been greatly influenced by Zhukovsky, and following the 1848 revolutions, when Alexander was acting as Regent, even Zhukovsky, the great humanist, turned to reaction and advised the banning of the mere word 'reform'. | | | It could be argued that Alexander II was no more a liberator than was his father; the language of Alexander's famous speech about emancipation is no more radical than that of Nicholas in 1842, defending the ineffectual Law On Obligated Peasants. | | | The two main controversies which surround Tsar Alexander II centre on whether or not he deserves the title 'Tsar Liberator' and if his reign was a success or a failure. |
