One of our greatest Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton, was born this week (Jan. 11) in either 1755 or 1757; Hamilton gave 1757 as his birth year but probate records support 1755.
In either case, Hamilton was born poor and illegitimate on Nevis Island in the British West Indies to a shiftless father, who soon abandoned him, and a poor mother who died when he was (probably) 13.

In setting the stage for the Marbury decision, the authors narrate a series of overlapping vignettes that support the book's three major story lines: the transfer of power between Federalists and Republicans following the 1800 election, the key political players and their relationships with one another, and the state of the federal judiciary between the passage of the Judiciary Act of 1789 and the issuance...

At a recent D.C. Council hearing on the history of the nation's capital, council member Michael A. Brown began with excerpts from two films: Rebecca Kingsley's "The Last Colony," a detailed history of the city's struggle for self-determination, and "Un-Natural State" by Kirk Mangels and Brad Mendelsohn.

The testimony began with the city's origins in the 1700s, weaved its way through the decades leading to the heady days of the 1960s and home rule, and ended with a D.C. student voicing concern that D.C. isn't part of "the Union.
