Did “Hamilton” get it right?

Stanford historian Jack Rakove provides a brief survey of the “big six” founding fathers, the strange relationship between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, and the election that turned out to be the first serious test of the durability of our constitutional system.

Rakove is the William Robertson Coe Professor of History and American Studies and professor of political science and (by courtesy) law at Stanford.
