Introduction of the Giles Resolutions

Working with Jefferson and Madison, Giles introduced three sets of resolutions in 1793 that attempted to censure Hamilton's administration of finances as Secretary of the Treasury. The resolutions accused Hamilton of maladministration in office under the Funding Act of 1790, seeking to force the United States to repay America's debts to France following the French Revolution. The supplied sources confirm the introduction and content of the resolutions but do not specify the exact date or the chamber's location, so the legacy date of February 27, 1793 in Philadelphia cannot be verified.
