Today, the national debt that Hamilton began with a bank loan of $19,608.81 is the largest single entry on any set of books in the world. The federal government pays $19,608.81 in interest on its current debt every 2.4 seconds.
What would Hamilton think of his creation today? He would surely be impressed with its sheer size, although he would note that relative to the American GDP, about $14 trillion, it is "not excessive." But he would, I suspect, not be happy with what borrowed money is being used for. Hamilton saw the debt as a powerful means of fighting wars, building infrastructure, and getting through economic bad times. For the last 30 years and more, however, the national debt has been increasingly used so that no one in Washington ever has to say no to anyone.
The correct answer is D) revenge.
President Wilson's 14 point peace plan based on democracy, self-determination, and collective security was rejected at the Paris Peace Conference because Europe wanted revenge.
United States President Woodrow Wilson believed that the implementation of its “14 points” would make the world safe for democracy.
When President Woodrow Wilson addressed the Congres of the United States on January 18, 1918, he elaborated 14 points with his ideas after the conclusion of World War I.
However, allied powers such as France and Great Britain did not really want a long-lasting peace in Europe. These countries wanted revenge and force Germany to pay for war reparations. France and England accused Germany of all the pain and destruction created during the war.
