漢彌爾頓與麥迪遜之合作

The Cooperation between Alexander Hamilton and James Madison

亞歷山大‧漢彌爾頓(Alexander Hamilton)與詹姆斯‧麥迪遜(James Madison)都是美國的開國元勳，在美國建國初期的歷史上扮演重要角色。他們曾合作推動召開和參與「制憲會議」(The Constitutional Convention)，並在推動各州批准美國聯邦憲法(The Federal Constitution)的過程中密切聯繫，他們也合作撰寫支持通過聯邦憲法的文章－日後著名的《聯邦主義者文集》(The Federalist papers)。在漢彌爾頓擔任聯邦政府首任財政部長後，麥迪遜身為眾議院領袖，卻開始領導反對漢彌爾頓的政策，他後來並與湯瑪斯‧傑佛遜(Thomas Jefferson)合組共和黨(The Republican Party)以對抗漢彌爾頓。美國學術上一般均重視漢彌爾頓與麥迪遜的敵對關係，較忽視漢彌爾頓與麥迪遜曾經合作的一段歷史。本論文企圖詳細探討漢彌爾頓與麥迪遜雙方合作之一段史實，以了解其合作之原因及過程、雙方之主張，以及其在美國建國歷史上之重要影響。

The U.S. academic groups usually paid much attention to the hostile relations between Hamilton and Madison, neglected their once cooperated phase of history. This article attempts to discuss the cooperating relations between Hamilton and Madison, to understand its reason, process, their positions, and its importance in U.S. founding history.
