I'm going to go with A.

Answer 2

NO! don't go with A hahaha that's wrong. :P

Thomas Pain wrote the pamphlet, Common Sense. But Alexander Hamilton was in the American revolutionary war and he became a captain of artillery, attracted George Washington's notice, and, as Washington's secretary and aide-de-camp, performed invaluable services. Desiring more active duty, he left Washington's staff in 1781 and performed brilliantly in the field at Yorktown. His marriage to Elizabeth Schuyler, daughter of Gen. Philip J. Schuyler, connected him with an old and powerful New York family. He practiced law in New York City and was a member of the Continental Congress. Although he was not a Loyalist himself- He supported the pro-British Loyalist. He later became one of the anonymous writers of the Federalist Papers. One off his worst enemies, Aaron Burr, often debated him and was jealous of him and his success (and Hamilton traded his vote against the election of Burr which got Burr upset.) that Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel in the same very place Hamilton's oldest son had died a year earlier in a duel defending his father's way of government. - On the day of the duel Hamilton was getting ready to shoot his pistol but not wanting blood to be spilt on his hands- he quickly changed the direction of his pistol and shot at the tree above Burr. Where as Burr shot his pistol right through Hamilton who died shortly after. His death was memorable- knowing that he had made lots of enemies but yet he changed the course of history with his great knowledge. Because of Hamilton's death- the government passed a law two years later prohibiting duels. Aaron Burr eventually turned against the nation and gathered up a riot of people to start his own nation against America but was caught and put in jail the rest of his life. ~ I love the story of Alexander Hamilton and there is so much more to say about him!!! <3 Oh and your answer would be- He was a member of the Declaration of Independence committee. He was one of America's Founding father's of New York. :)
