Though the cotton gin in America and the steam engine in England were decisive early machines, the Industrial Revolution was characterized more generally by internal "infrastructure" improvements in communication and transportation, including construction of roadways and waterways, to facilitate movement of goods and workers for trade purposes. Its significance was that it fostered the rise and dominance of a merchant class with values and protocols distinct from the agrarian nobility class that had dominated earlier periods, as well as the growth of a working/laboring "proletariat."Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804) was one of the principal architects of American constitutional government, grudgingly accepting principles of individual rights as a lever against what he saw as the chaos of competition between state and national government authority that were undermining U.S. governance under the Articles of Confederation.
