Lin-Manuel Miranda can be compared to Alexander Hamilton because they both
A) wanted to be president of the United States.
B) were founding fathers of the United States.
C) resisted British rule of the colonies.
D) confronted long-held traditions.
The correct answer is D) confronted long-held traditions.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, through his musical “Hamilton,” challenged traditional narratives about America’s founding by presenting Hamilton’s story in a new, modern context, incorporating diverse voices and contemporary music styles. Alexander Hamilton himself confronted established norms during his time, advocating for a strong central government and creating a financial system that differed from the existing state-led approaches. Both figures are seen as innovators in their respective fields.
