The correct answer is: B - Alexander Hamilton.

Born on January 11, 1755 in British West Indies, he took part in the American Revolution. First as a cpatain in the provincial artillery. He became close to George Washington becoming one of his advisers. Hamilton later left the army to study laa, taking cases that gave him popularity. After the war ended, he used his studies to get into politics, serving as a secretary of the treasury.

He had the opportunity to witness the weaknesses of the Constitution and thought a stronger federal government under a new constitution was needed.

He served as a New York delegate in the "Compromise for the Constitution", discussing how to fix the Articles of the Confederation. With James Madison and John Jay, he wrote a series of 85 essays in defense of the Constitution and republican government. They explained the powers of the executive, the senate and the judiciary having great influence.
