One precedent they have is Hamilton’s move in 1790 to transfer the revolutionary war debts accrued by the states to the federal government.

När återhämtningsfonden godkändes öppnades Pandoras ask, och det är nu en svår uppgift för Sveriges regering att försöka stänga den.
Att passivt se på när EU nu drivs i en allt mer protektionistiskt och överstatlig riktning är i längden ohållbart och skadligt.

Alexander Hamilton's speech at the Constitutional Convention on June 18, 1787, was a significant moment.
He spoke at length, comparing the Virginia and New Jersey Plans, and introduced his own plan for a bicameral legislature with a House elected by the people for three years and a Senate elected by electors to serve for life.
Hamilton's plan also included a Governor chosen by the people to serve during good behavior, and state governors appointed by the Federal Government.
This speech had a lasting impact on the direction of the Convention and the development of the U.S. Constitution.
