January 11 — Alexander Hamilton — Defender of the Constitution — The Constitution; or, The New Roof 1787
Our roof is now raised, and our song still shall be
A Federal Head o’er a People that’s free!
Huzza! my brave boys, our work is complete,
The World shall admire Columbia’s fair seat;
Its strength against tempest and time shall be proof;
And thousands shall come to dwell under our roof.
Francis Hopkinson (Condensed)
