3. 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

4. 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.”

5. 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.

6. 3. The tariff
The last part of Hamilton’s plan to solve the nation’s financial crisis was the tariff

10. 1. The whiskey rebellion
Hamilton proposed a 25% manufacturing tax on whiskey. This was an indirect tax, so everyone paid it
Congress passed and imposed a tax on all whiskey made and sold in the US
Whiskey was called the Patriotic Drink
Farmers growing wheat and corn in Pennsylvania are furious and couldn’t pay the tax
Hamilton’s tax would cause a revolt that tested the strength of the new national government

11. 1. The whiskey rebellion
Many farmers compared the whiskey tax to the hated taxes the English imposed before the Revolution
Many farmers organized protest and refused to pay the tax
Protestors in western Pennsylvania burned the house of a tax collector and rebelled, this became known as the Whiskey Rebellion
G.W. sent 13,000 troops to PN, but they all disbanded before they arrived. It didn’t take much.
The rebellion did however test the will and power of the new government. G.W. actions proved no armed rebellions would be tolerated.
