“ A promise must never be broken” - Alexander Hamilton

This quote from Hamilton is very powerful, because it is very meticulous and concise to the human mind. He states that any promise that you make can never be broken, because it could lead to negative consequences. For example, if you make a promise to get home by 10:00, but you come home 30 minutes later, you just broke a promise. Consequences can happen such as grounded, your parents taking your phone away, etc. A promise can never be broken or else it could leave a bad reputation or a bad name on you. For example, your name will define you as dishonest or not trustworthy.  If you keep a promise, you must stick to it no matter what. That is why it could never be broken. For instance, if you promise your parents to take out the trash before you leave to your friend’s house and you kept the promise, than it will leave you a good reputation on you. If a promise is broken, it wouldn’t be consider a promise anymore, because you broke it. Therefore, Alexander Hamilton stated this quote to induce us to keep a promise and not to break it or else there will be conundrums.
