As described by the AHA Society, Professor John P. Kaminski and attorney Adam Levinson examine primary sources that illuminate Hamilton\u2019s role at the Convention. Their discussion offers a more nuanced picture of a figure too often dismissed, revealing how Hamilton\u2019s presence shaped the making of the Constitution.<\/p>\n

Even in 2025, historians continue to uncover overlooked details about the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Based on a deep dive into archival records, we now have reason to believe that Alexander Hamilton may have played a larger role at the Convention than previously understood.<\/p>\n

His movements raise enduring questions: why did he withdraw, why did he return, where did he reside during those tense months, and what part did he play in the critical final weeks of September?<\/p>\n
