4 0

Answer:

<u>Peter Stuyvesant</u> (1592–1672) was the last director-general of the New Amsterdam and is <u>famous for expanding this colony and building several landmark projects, such as Broadway</u>.

With a true dutch spirit of running a settlement, he <u>addressed the fire issue in the city with a number of improvements</u>. In order to reduce the risk of fire, colonists were commanded to <em>remove wooden chimneys and replace roofs made of thatch</em>, because they presented a fire hazard. He also introduced <em>first fire wardens</em> in the New Amsterdam, which laid foundation for the first fire department in the United States.  

In addition, Stuyvesant <em>set speed limits</em> on the streets of New Amsterdam and <em>directed taverns to be closed at 9 p.m.</em> to reduce drunk fighting on the streets.

What was hamiltons position on the purchase of louisiana
sergey [27]

Answer:

Alexander Hamilton's economic and financial systems established top-rated credit for the United States, which led Napoleon to offer the Louisiana Purchase to the United States.

Explanation:

At the time, the United States was concerned about France’s control of the mouth of the Mississippi and the possibility of disrupting the flow of future commerce of the United States. Thomas Jefferson, through his diplomatic team in Paris, had earlier proposed acquiring New Orleans and small tracts of land on both sides of the banks of the Mississippi from France for six million dollars.

Napoleon would have made this offer to any sitting U.S. President. It was not significant that it was President Jefferson. If George Washington or John Adams were President, it also would have been offered and accepted.

The important element in this deal was that Napoleon needed money and the United States had developed the financial credit established by Hamilton that was necessary for the deal.
