Multiple Foundings and Evolutions in Public Administration: TARP and the U.S. Constitution
The primary framework that will be utilized in an examination of the research issues identified for this research project will be the notion of political liberalism as the foundational principles of democratic governments, including the government of the United States of American at the time of the nation's founding and throughout its history up to the current era. Multiple foundings of public administrative systems and authorities will also be assumed as has been suggested by certain research on the topic (Green 2002). Through this framework the peculiar and highly meaningful interactions of conflicting political ideals, both as historical hold outs from previous eras of public administration and as ongoing conflicts between pragmatic and philosophical ideals, with specific attention to the rationales for the administering of TARP funds in a government that traditionally has emphasized self-reliance and the limited powers of the federal government (U.S. Constitution; Green 2002; Stillman 1991).
There is an abundance of different literature and other resources that will be useful in the compilation and analysis of this research, from government documents outlining policy and law to scholarly reflections on the development of government and public administration in the United States (U.S. Constitution; Bertelli & Lynn). The general outline and structure of this paper will build from historical roots of bureaucracies as described in the literature and follow a chronological through-line of administration development through to the modern era.

Through these three main measures, Alexander Hamilton ensured the main instruments with which a young economy could be built and become competitive in the future: strong public credit, corroborated with a central financial and monetary institution which would regulate monetary policies and with protectionist tariffs that would defend the manufacturing industry against the cheaper imports from Europe.

Founding fathers were primarily oriented towards weak central government. The approach to government that was advocated by Hamilton, Madison and Jay, were particularly interested in a republican form of government that fractured the power structure of the United States in such a way that no one branch of government could exercise unilateral control over the others. They sought to create a system of government that would avoid the parliamentary model,

Revolutionary Character Alexander Hamilton was the prototypical opportunist of the American Revolution: of obscure and humble origins, he longed for an escape from his lowly rank as accountant and, as Wood (2006) notes, it was "war" that Hamilton believed would provide just such an escape (p. 124). Hamilton's revolutionary character was found in this desire for opportunity out of crisis and displayed the future maxim of Rahm Emmanuel, "Let no good
Federalist Papers are important to any analysis of the U.S. Constitution because they provided the philosophical and socio-political justification for the adoption of the Constitution. Prior to the ratification of the Constitution, the states were loosely united under the Articles of Confederation. However, Alexander Hamilton and his group of elites did not like that they could not be part of a federal/central government that oversaw and wielded power over
