<p>yes, that is true- and they way he made a stable economy was by bonds and getting people to put a stake in the new economy- However, that quote does NOT say he was trying to make a STRONG economy. He just wanted an efficient and stable one.</p>
<p>I admit that this was a toughth one- But I know that my answer choice has solid backing behind it.</p>
<p>"Hamilton argued that the rich and powerful men of every state, who held the state debt certificates, would give their loyalty to the national government, and without that loyalty the new nation would risk not having enough credit it might need in a future war." - He wanted more people with a stake in the economy- therefore making them care about the fate of the government.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the nation was in heavy debt during this time, and could'nt even dream of becoming strong in the near future- Therefore, Hamilton just wanted to concentrate on paying off debts/drumming up support for the government through bonds and such.</p>
<p>Who remembers the question and answer choices for this specific question?</p>
<p>One was get more people involved in the economy and another was creating a strong economy. The question itself asked about what Hamilton did concerning the new economy.</p>
<p>In my opinion, this may have been the question that 80+% of students got wrong.</p>
<p>this question is completely bogus peice of collegboard tyranny</p>
<p>I agree with you...he wanted to attract the wealthiest citizens to ensure the economy would prosper. But...isn't his whole plan trying to make a stronger economy, from the debt ridden one. I mean, a stronger economy = a more stable one. They are synonymous and mean the same thing. Wouldn't the people one be too broad, cause it didnt apply to the poor or the middle class, but just the wealthy. My textbook says he weas appealing to the wealthy class?</p>
<p>I dont know dude...what do you think</p>
<p>I agree, this question was complete BS. Both answers sound very good.</p>
<p>which one are you leaning towards... i know yours has backing but it applies only to the wealthiest which was largely misrepresentative of the united states. more than 90% of the people were farmers, and the rich were less than 10%. Therefore, in saying that Hamilton wanted to attract people, this is wrong. < than6% of the people were represened in his plan. However he was attempting ot make a more stable/stronger economy. hit me back</p>
<p>Did anyone else have what I put down?</p>
<p>And MED, I'm still on the fence. But in every bio and review book I read, they always mention how he appealed to citizens for putting support behind the government. So I'm leaning towards that.</p>
<p>In my history class it was preached that Hamilton wanted a strong government and strong economy, so the latter is what I put for that question. I do know that hamilton reached out to investors but I am unsure as to how large a segment of the population invenstors actually made up.</p>
<p>I do know that Hamilton encouraged the people to help, but wasn't this also leading to the aspect of a stronger economy? This question seems borderline subjective/objective....just ridiculous..</p>
<p>I think I remembered a question--wasn't there something on the bessemer process?</p>
<p>led to the cheap creation of steel</p>
<p>I know, I was just saying that might be one of the questions we don't have on our list yet.</p>
<p>I just just providing the answer..chill dude</p>
<p>I don't remember a question like that...for the question about alexander hamilton, I put he wanted to get as many people involved in the economic growth of the country as possible.</p>
<p>Anyway, the question didn't specify which class of society- It just said he wanted to get as many people as possible to get involved in the economy. I really think that is the answer because collegeboard wanted to be tricky.</p>
<p>How sure are you lol? Because people a few pages before said he wanted to make the US a world power?</p>
<p>Ranks, dont remember any question about the bessemer process. Was there a q on the factory/lowell system?..., or was that from my prac test...</p>
<p>If someone can find a quote that says Hamilton wanted the US to be a world power by means of a strong economy, then we have a really F'ed up question on our hands.</p>
<p>Mabye I'm mixing it up with a practice test...</p>
<p>But I seem to remember something on it, meh.</p>
