Alexander Hamilton's main reason for insisting that all the nation's debts must be paid in full was to establish the financial credibility of the newly formed United States government. Hamilton believed that by doing so, it would help to strengthen the country's economic foundation and attract both domestic and foreign investors. Additionally, paying off the debts would also establish the trust and confidence of creditors, ensuring their continued support for future loans. Hamilton saw the repayment of debts as crucial for the establishment of a stable and prosperous nation.
