These twists, regarded as historical inaccuracies which aroused criticism from historians and scholars, add dramatic elements to the musical to appeal to the audience, but their significance is often neglected. In this paper, the manifestation of democracy in Hamilton will be analyzed in its three aspects – of the people, by the people, for the people – as proclaimed by former U.S. president Abraham Lincoln. Thus, this paper will argue that the twists to the history and politics in Hamilton contribute to the depiction of a failed democracy and help convey potential threats to such a vulnerable system.

Looking back, I realize how similar I am to the bees in this poem, like the bees, I wasn’t sure how to get to my destination.…
