Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion. The most commonly cited reason that Alexander Hamilton insisted on the full payment of the nation’s debts was **so the country could borrow in the future**. By paying off debts in full, Hamilton aimed to establish the nation's creditworthiness and financial stability, enabling the government to secure loans when needed. Thank you for your patience.
