for destroying his plan/chance

1) Sum up the events of the three songs (The Room Where It Happens, Schuyler Defeated & Cabinet Battle #2).

- Hamilton, Jefferson and
Madison meet up to resolve
their conflicts, respectively to
negotiate where the capital
should be and if and where a
national bank should be
established
- after discussions and things
like that, they decide that the
bank will be located in New
York and the capital will be
moved more towards Virginia
- Philip Schuyler loses his senate
seat to Aaron Burr (Burr
became a Democratic-
Republican to get ahead)
- France is on the verge of a war
with England
- cabinet (Hamilton, Jefferson,
Madison..) discusses whether
to help the Frech allies or to
stay out of it (keywords:
promises, loyalty, the nation's
ideals & fragility)
- Washington finally decides to
remain neutral (at least for now)
- quarrels between Jefferson and
Hamilton become quite
personal

# data[].attributes.body
2) Explain the positions of the
two contestants in the conflict.

Where should the capital be?
Is the establishment of a national bank beneficial?

Jefferson (+Madison):
- Hamilton's plan only benefits
Hamilton
- calls on the importance of
liberty and the pursuit of
happiness
- a state's depts do not really
benefit the state
- doesn't accept the case of
Virginia (or any other state)
paying New York's (or any other
state's) depts, Virginia paid for
all of theit depts
- Hamilton's plan/ the papers
is/are unintelligible
- suspects taxes due to
Hamilton's plan = only benefits
Hamilton, not the state

Hamilton:
- wants to secure/improve the
financial system = benefits
everyone
- his plan would boost the union
= befits everyone
- claims that Virginia's depts are
only paid because they don't
pay for labor (slavery, Hamilton
is against that), Jefferson's
arguments aren't
convincing/significant
- thinks that his plan will end up
helpful, but it takes some time
until the benefit is visual for
everyone

1) Explain the line "someday, you'll blow us all away".

The line "someday, you'll blow us all away" might point out, that the children of Hamilton and Burr will play a big role later during the musical or that they someday will get famous due to special achievements. It also may indicate that something either amazing or unfortunate will take place in their lives. Therefore both of them will somehow reach a group of people, leaving them at least surprised or something similar or as you could say, they "will blow them away" for some reason.

1) Outline Seabury's position in your own words.
Seabury vocally urges people to support the king and Great Britain on the streets, while he as well says that a revolution or something that's similar to a war isn't supposed to be the "right" way. Therefore he does not support Hamilton and tries to convince the people that Hamilton does not act in their interests.

Burr: "Talk less - smile more, don't let them know..."

# data[].attributes.body
This quote's supposed to mean that if you want to have an successful career you should totally follow this advice and listen to what the people are telling you. The less talking and more listening you do will have a big impact on your productivity and the quality of your decisions. So this is supposed to be the mindset to success. It shows respect for others aswell, since it's human nature to want to speak and be heard. Aswell if you think about what your saying first, you may prevent yourself from saying something offensive, unconstructive or unhelpful. Concerning the smiling, it's a fact that Laughter and smiling break down barriers to communication which connects with the "talk less". But smiling also means enjoying what you have, worrying less and being grateful. The last part of the quote is probably an advice on how to prevent making yourself enemies or saying things/your opinion in the presence of people who might not appreciate it.
What we learn about Burr:
- he has experienced what it's
like if you don't follow the advice
- might have gotten himself into
trouble through that
- made himself enemies in the
past
- seems successful, smart, caring
