1. A National Bank A.H. plan to get the nation out of debt was to charter a national bank He believed it would generate revenue and wanted to mimic it after the Bank of England (he was an anglophile…<3 England) Problem is…..Bank of England was notoriously corrupt. Because the private investors were so powerful that they began to fund elections, so rich wealthy men corrupted the government. A.H. believed the bank would provide a safe place to deposit government funds It also would be able to issue paper money that would serve as a national currency

A national bank will stimulate the economy and create Credit! 2. Debate over the bank A national bank will stimulate the economy and create Credit! Some, like Thomas Jefferson argued against the bank, believing that the law establishing the bank was unconstitutional Jefferson and Madison argued that no where in the constitution was there a condition allowing Congress to set up a national bank, they said the bank was unconstitutional Jefferson’s view was a strict one of the Constitution, or only permits what the Constitution says word-for-word Hamilton argued for a loose interpretation of the Constitution. He said Article 1, section 8 of the Constitution gave Congress the power to make all laws “Necessary and proper.”

2. Debate over the bank In 1791, Congress did pass a law establishing the bank, and Hamilton sways G.W. to sign it (?) The Bank of the US gets a 20 year charter Began with a charter of 10 million in stock (2 million from the Fed. Gov, 8 million from private investors) The bank does create revenue, just not enough to cover the war debt.

3. The tariff The last part of Hamilton’s plan to solve the nation’s financial crisis was the tariff It would put a high tax on imported goods It would raise money for the federal government The Tariff was the only part (out of 3) that Congress did not pass, b/c the South opposed it
