Alexander had a fine education but the question is was he intelligent?
"Hamilton's own career was terminated prematurely when he was killed in a duel with Aaron Burr in 1804."
I think you're missing my point.
You are correct - education does not = intelligence.
Ability to speak, however does indicate some level of thought. If the speaker cannot complete a sentence, what is the listener supposed to conclude from said incomplete sentence?
In addition, one has to take into account the evolution of English when quoting the Founders. It was a different time, a different language, and a different culture.
So let's change the men.
What are our options, and who determines them?
