From the Paper
"Liberalism and republicanism were both involved in the creation of the American government and the development of the Constitution that would be the framework for that government, and the two approaches were discussed, compared, and argued in the debate between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. The basic issue both faced was the ratification of the Constitution, with the Federalists supporting this document and the federal form of government it would represent and the Anti-Federalists opposing the document and the underlying philosophy. Yet, ultimately, both points of view were represented in some degree in the final document and in the government it created. The Federalist Papers were written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison as a defense of the developing Constitution. Madison and Hamilton were clearly allies in this endeavor, but ..."

"The purpose of this paper is to discuss various details about the life of Alexander Hamilton, based on information provided by the book, "Alexander Hamilton", by Steven O'Brien.
Alexander Hamilton was born in the British West Indies to James Hamilton and Rachel Lavien, who, because of an earlier divorce decree, had been forbidden to remarry. This made Alexander illegitimate, a fact he never forgot and which many think was the driving force in his later will to succeed.
James Hamilton tried to be successful at family life for several years, until 1766, when he left his wife and children on the island of St. Croix, never to return again. Apparently, as an adult Hamilton very seldom said anything about his parents, although he referred more often to his father than his mother. In later life the two of them resumed communications, but their ... "

Abstract
This paper examines the city of Hamilton, noting that the city of Hamilton is known as the Steel City, though this designation ties the city to a past that may no longer exist and may give the wrong impression of what the city represents today. The paper examines Hamilton from various points of view and a picture of the community emerges that shows that the city is not that unusual and features both positives and negatives for those living there.
From the Paper
"The city of Hamilton is known as the "Steel City," though this designation ties the city to a past that may no longer exist and may give the wrong impression of what the city represents today. Hamilton, like a great many cities, relies heavily on tourism for a portion of its income and seeks to promote itself as a tourist destination through its website, various local organizations, and advertising, but tourism also does not really define the city completely. Hamilton has been examined from various points of view, and a picture of the community emerges that shows that the city is not that unusual and features both positives and negatives for those living there."

Abstract
This paper looks at Alexander Hamilton, whose fiery personality, keen intellect, and innovative political and financial ideas helped to shape the early government of America. The paper discusses how Hamilton not only contributed here and there, but was a founder of the Federalist Party, one of the first political groups of the young America and how both the party and Hamilton played significant roles in forming the laws and doctrines, which are the back bone of the American government.
From the Paper
"It is of some interest to note that Hamilton's life did not begin in England nor did it start in the soon to be America. It began in the British Virgin Islands, more accurately on the island of Nevis located on the Leeward Islands. (Mitchell 2) His mother was Rachael Fawcett, a spirited woman whose first marriage was to a man named John Larven. She had attempted to divorce him but there is some debate on if he went through with the legal motions for it or not. (Mitchell 3-4) After the alleged divorce she married a young Scotsman by the name of James Hamilton, the father of Alexander Hamilton. There is much debate over the legitimacy of Alexander and his brother James due to the fact that their parent's marriage may not have been legal. (Mitchell 4-10) At the young age of around ten or eleven Alexander and his family moved to the island of St.Croix where he would live until the age of seventeen when he would be sent to America for education.

"Hamilton's basic plan of government consisted of two legislatures, comprised by an assembly directly elected by the people to a three year term, and a senate, chosen by electors from senatorial districts to serve based upon merit, or good behavior. In addition to the aforementioned legislative bodies, there would be a Judiciary, consisting of twelve justices who would also serve based upon merit. This judiciary would have both original and appellate jurisdictions."

Pop Art and Richard Hamilton, 2004.
This paper discusses the Pop Art movement; Richard Hamilton, the father of this movement; and his collage, ?Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing??.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Pop Art uses images of consumerism and everyday objects, often placing mundane objects in bizarre situations as a form of social commentary. The author points out that, although Andy Warhol is perhaps the best-known pop artist, Richard Hamilton, born in London during the 1920s, created the first piece of Pop Art, ?Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing??, a collage poster design for the ?This Is Tomorrow? art exhibit. The paper describes the author?s attempt to reinterpret this collage by using images of the latest technology of our era -- the plasma TV, the DVD player, the PlayStation ? just as Hamilton?s collage shows the latest technology of his era -- the reel-to-reel, the television.
From the Paper
"I experienced some particular problems in creating my collage. Hamilton?s background in advertising and the arts gave him an incredible skill for cutting out the magazine photos, and although the proportions are somewhat skewed, he was able to piece the individual photos together in an almost seamless fashion, creating a completely believable new world. In my collage, the scissors lines are obvious, and there is not the artistic flow of the created environment. The models in my collage do not have the creepy Outer-Limits air about them, and the sense of discord within a stable environment that Hamilton captured simply is not there in my collage, which does not have a proper sense of chaos or stability. It is an important lesson to be learned, however, that even if presented with the same basic supplies, it is the artistic skill and merit of the artist that creates a true piece of art. Simply incorporating similar themes into a piece does not necessarily make those pieces companions or comparable. Hamilton had an incredible sense of the impact of the media and consumer-based society on the individual, and it was due to his own brilliance that his collage is impressive, not just, because he found pretty pictures in magazines."

Virginia Hamilton's "The People Could Fly", 2003.
An analysis of flight and African-American heritage in Virginia Hamilton's "The People Could Fly".
2,131 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 66.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Virginia Hamilton's collection of American black folktales, "The People Could Fly" (1985), portrays the tales of both animals and humans who are faced with hardships analogous to those of black slaves. It looks at how through Hamilton's careful preservation of history, her tales are laced with the recurring theme of flight. It also discusses how the notion of flying Africans seems to symbolize the black slaves' desire for liberation and transcendence over slavery, and remains a significant phenomenon in several accounts of slaves of native African origin.
From the Paper
"According to folklorist Alan Dundes, a myth is a sacred tale describing how the world and man came to exist in their modern form, and whose purpose is to "contribute to the maintenance of the norms and values of the culture out of which 'sacred narrative' emerges" (Awkward 485). Authors of African American literature frequently make reference to Afro-American legends of slaves who had the natural ability of flight, and who used it to break out of slavery in America; that is, in essence to rise above captivity. However, flight in most American black folktales operates not just as a universal or individual symbol of transcendence, but also as a cooperative symbol of resistance by a particular cultural group within a socio-historical framework (Wilentz 21). In Virginia Hamilton's The People Could Fly, flight outwardly presents a means of escape for the Africans, but on a much broader scale represents the effective opposition to slavery, a state of being that was "too immature, fixed [and] final" (Wilentz 21).

The Literature of Virginia Hamilton, 2002.
A reading of the works of Virginia Hamilton in terms of multicultural literature.

»

Abstract
Virginia Hamilton's books suggest a far more complex approach to multicultural literature. This paper will argue that the importance of Hamilton's work is that she depicts African Americans not in terms of their collective race, but in terms of their individual humanity. This is not, of course, to say that issues of race and racism do not occur in her works.

"History Development and Growth
In 1914, Edwin Booz developed a conception. He assumed that in order for the corporations to be more profitable they might call on an expert from outside their company for professional, independent recommendations. By developing this concept, he formed a novel line of work, which is known as management consulting. By the year 1914, Edwin Booz graduated from Northwestern University. He then goes into business all by himself, executing research and numerical evaluations for corporations. In the year 1915, Ed Booz coordinates a corporation, Business Research & Development Company that dealt with investigating market environments in diverse fields and corporations. In 1919, another milestone was achieved when Ed Booz inaugurated Edwin G. Booz, Business Engineering Service. Its very first client was The State Bank & Trust of Evanston, IL. In 1924 the name of the company changed to Edwin Booz Surveys. In 1935 another significant step was taken when Carl Hamilton joined the firm and a year later, in 1936, the firm becomes new partnership Booz, Allen, & Hamilton. Clients at that time included US Gypsum and Container Corp. of America. They also worked for American Red Cross that led to more institutional labor (Booz Allen Hamilton, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper examines how Ed Hamilton, a contemporary sculptor, believes his greatest passion in life is to teach people the truth of history, specifically African American history, and how his method of bringing truth to the public eye is to conceive of and create memorials to the ?forgotten? African Americans throughout history. It looks at how his specialty is doing public monuments and how he is most known for his work on public memorials that celebrate the achievements of African-Americans, such as his ?Spirit of Freedom? in Washington D.C., which honors African-American soldiers who fought for the Union in the Civil War.
From the Paper
"Born on Valentine?s day, February fourteenth, in 1947, Ed Hamilton has known a great many changes through his life. Although born in Cincinnati, Ohio, he was raised in Louisville, Kentucky. Wanting to follow his artistic urges and knowing a love for sculpting early in life, he attended the Art Center School in Louisville (Bright (Anonymous Biography, Internet source). He graduated in 1969. Unable to support his family entirely on his earnings from sculpting, he chose to teach both sculpting and ceramics to the youth at Iroquois High School while completing his education at the University of Louisville and Spalding University in Louisville. He began sculpting as a career only after becoming an apprentice to the well-known sculptor, Barney Bright (Anonymous Biography, Internet source)."

This paper analyzes the book "Absolut : Biography of a Bottle" by Carl Hamilton and discusses the story of how Absolut Vodka emerged as an unknown product and with a unique marketing strategy managed to conquer the United States market.
From the Paper
"The first step in the story is the proposal Gunnar Broman, head of Sweden?s top advertising agency, made to New York executives in 1978. At this time the belief was that all good vodka came from Russia. In reality, vodka had been being produced in Sweden for centuries, but the cultural belief in America was that vodka came from Russia."

Identity in "The Hamilton Case", 2008.
An analysis of the theme of identity in Michelle de Kretser's novel "The Hamilton Case".
1,434 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Michelle de Kretser's "The Hamilton Case" is a novel which complicates notions of identity, using the post-colonial genre as its method. The paper focuses on Sam, the novel's main character, and his obsession with being exclusively English despite his skin color, his location and his status as the colonized. The paper shows how Sam confuses our ideas of identity, allegiance, nationality, or even right and wrong in the colonial and post-colonial scene.
From the Paper
"An argument may be made that Sam argues for, and inhabits, an integrated Ceylonese identity--one which recognizes its English history, but remains as something separate. At one point in the novel, Sam is mocked by Jaya, who questions his allegiance to Englishness: "[Jaya] snorted. 'A grove, a glade - why use words designed for an English forest? They have nothing to do with this jungle of ours'" to which Sam replies "'English is our inheritance too,'... 'Why shouldn't we mould it to our needs? Grove and palu in the same sentence - isn't that distinctively Ceylonese?'" (de Kretser, 71). At another time, Sam reflects nostalgically on his schooldays, claiming that the culture there was one of integration, despite the backgrounds, religions or races of the students: "'As any Old Edwardian will attest, the prevalent tone of the school was one of comradeship unmarred by racial or religious strife. We spoke English, our only common tongue, to each other as well as to our masters." (deKretser, 26). "

Carmichael and Hamilton "Black Power", 2005.
This paper reviews the book "Black Power: The Politics of Liberation in America" by Stokely Carmichael and Charles V. Hamilton, written in 1967, at the height of the civil rights movement.

Abstract
This paper explains the various aspects of the need for empowering the African-American people. The author points out that the most important argument in the book is that African-Americans need to develop a particular type of consciousness in order for black liberation to occur, which Carmichael and Hamilton refer to as "Black Power". The paper relates that the book states that integration (or desegregation) is not an adequate solution to the problem of oppression because it is based on the assumption that there is nothing of value in the black community and it merely results in integrating 'acceptable' black people into the middle-class white community.
From the Paper
"Although "Black Power" was written in the late 1960s, the ideas contained in the book are still, for the most part, applicable in the present day. Obviously, African Americans have not yet attained full equality with the whites in American society. The views expressed by Carmichael and Hamilton are well stated, and thus their arguments are convincing. In addition, it is important to note that the way to liberation from oppression, according to "Black Power", is not "radical" per se, although it requires a great deal of courage and determination on the part of the black people themselves."
