After the war I went back to New York

A After the war I went back to New York

I finished up my studies and

I practiced law

I practiced law, Burr worked next door

Even though we started

at the very same time

Alexander Hamilton began to climb

How to account for his rise to the top?

Maaaan, the man is Non Stop!

Gentlemen of the jury,

I'm curious, bear with me

Are you aware that we're making history?

This is the first murder

trial of our brand new nation

The liberty behind deliberation

Non Stop!

I intend to prove beyond

a shadow of a doubt

With my assistant counsel

Co counsel. Hamilton, sit down

Our client Levi Weeks is

innocent, call your first witness

That's all you had to say

Okay, one more thing

Why do you assume you're

the smartest in the room?

Why do you assume you're

the smartest in the room?

Why do you assume you're

the smartest in the room?

Soon that attitude may be your doom

AAAWW!

Why do you write like

you're running out of time?

Write day and night like

you're running out of time

Every day you fight like

you're running out of time

Keep on fighting, in the meantime

Non Stop!

Corruption's such an old song

that we can sing along in harmony

And nowhere is it stronger than in

Albany. This colony's economy's

increasingly stalling And honestly,

that's why public service seems to

be calling me

I practiced the law,

practic'ly perfected it

I've seen injustice in the

world and I've corrected it

Now for a strong central democracy

If not, then I'll be Socrates throwing

verbal rocks at these mediocrities

Hamilton at the ConstitutionalConvention

I was chosen for the Constitutional

Convention!

There as a New York junior delegate

Now what I'm gonna say may

sound indelicate

Goes and proposes his

own form of government

His own plan for a new

form of government

Talks for six hours, the

convention is listless

Bright young man!

Yo, who the eff is this?

Why do you always say what you believe?

Why do you always say what you believe?

Every proclamation guarantees

Free ammunition for your enemies

Why do you write like it's going out

of style (goin out of style, hey)

Write day and night like it's going

out of style (goin out of style, hey)

Every day you fight like

it's going out of style

Do you what you do

Alexander?

Aaron Burr, sir

Well, it's the middle of the night

Can we confer, sir?

Is this a legal matter?

Yes, and it's important to me

What do you need?

Burr, you're a better lawyer than me

Okay?

I know I talk too much, I'm abrasive

You're incredible in court,

you're succinct, persuasive

My client needs a strong

defence, you're the solution

Who's your client?

The new U.S. Constitution?

No

Hear me out

No way!

A series of essays anonymously published

Defending the document to the public

No one'll read it

I disagree!

And if it fails?

Burr, that's why we need it

The constitution's a mess!

So it needs amendments

It's full of contradictions!

So is independence

We have to start somewhere

No, no way

You're making a mistake

Good night!

Hey! What are you waiting for?

What do you stall for?

What?

We won the war, what was it all for?

Do you support this constitution?

Of course

Then defend it!

And what if you're

backing the wrong horse?

Burr, we studied and we

fought and we killed

For the notion of a nation

we now get to build

For once in your life

take a stand with pride

I don't understand how

you stand to the side

I will keep all my

plans close to my chest

(Wait for it, wait for it, wait)

I won't wait here and see which

Way the wind will blow

I'm taking my time watching

the afterbirth of a nation

Watching the tension grow

I am sailing off to London

I am accompanied by

someone who always pays

I have found a wealthy husband

Who will keep me in

comfort for all my days

He is not a lot of fun but

There's no one who can match

you for turn of phrase My Alexander

Angelica

Don't forget to write

Look at where you are

Look at where you started

The fact that you're alive is a miracle

Just stay alive, that would be enough

And if your wife could share

a fraction of your time

If I could grant you peace of mind

Would that be enough?

Alexander joins forces with James

Madison and John Jay to write a

series of essays Defending the

new United States Constitution,

entitled The Federalist Papers

The plan was to write a

total of twenty five essays

The work divided evenly

among the three men

In the end, they wrote eighty five

essays in the span of six months

John Jay got sick after writing five

James Madison wrote twenty nine

Hamilton wrote the other FIFTY ONE!

How do you write like you're

Running out time

Write day and night like you're

Running out time

Every day you fight like you're

Running out time

Like you're

Running out time

Are you running out time?

How do you write like

tomorrow won't arrive?

How do you write like

you need it to survive?

How do you write every

second you're alive

Every second you're alive

Every second you're alive

They're asking me to lead

I'm doing the best I can

To get the people that I need

I'm asking you to be my right hand man

Treasury or State?

I know it's a lot to ask

Treasury or State?

To leave behind the world you know

Sir, do you want me to run the

Treasury or State Department?

Treasury

Let's go

Alexander!

I have to leave

Alexander!

Look around, look around at how

lucky we are to be alive right now

Helpless

They are asking me to lead

Look around, isn't this enough?

He will never be satisfied

Would it be enough?

He will never (to) be satisfied

Satisfied, satisfied, satisfied

History has it's eyes on you

Why do you assume you're

the smartest in the room?

Why do you assume you're

the smartest in the room?

He will never be satisfied,

satisfied, satisfied

Why do you assume you're

the smartest in the room?

Soon that attitude may be your doom

History has it's eyes on you

Why do you write like

you're running out of time?

Non stop!

Why do you write like

History has it's eyes on you!

I am not throwing away my shot!

Just you wait

I am not throwing away my shot!

Just you wait

I am Alexander Hamilton, Hamilton

Just you wait

I am not throwing away my shot!
