The purpose of a bank is to keep peoples money safe & to hold peoples accounts. we have them to keep peoples money saved .
Debating a National Bank The most controversial part of Hamilton’s plan was the national bank. [c1] . Like many debates during the Constitutional Convention, the disagreement centered on how much power the central government should have. A broader debate arose over two ways of viewing the Constitution: **strict construction** and **loose construction**. [c2] . On the other hand, those who favor loose construction think that the government can take reasonable actions that are not outlined in the Constitution—as long as those actions are not specifically prohibited.
Hamilton’s bank plan The Constitution (Article I, Section 8) listed a number of specific, or expressed, powers that are granted to Congress. When Hamilton proposed a national bank, he pointed to the clause in the Constitution that allows Congress to pass all laws that are “necessary and proper” to carry out its assigned powers. This broad interpretation of the Constitution was a prime example of loose construction. From Hamilton’s point of view, the “necessary and proper” clause allowed actions that follow the intent of the Constitution even though those actions are not specifically named in the Constitution. This clause has allowed the government to expand its powers and to adjust to changing times. To this day, it is still a question for debate.
Jefferson opposes the bank Jeffersonian Republicans continued the Antifederalists’ arguments against a strong central government. Jefferson himself, although he admired Washington and Madison, was lukewarm about the Constitution in its final form. Jefferson wanted a small central government with more power left to the states. He favored limiting government powers to only those specifically spelled out in the Constitution—and that would not include the power to form a national bank.
Washington signs the bank bill The bank proposal made others uneasy as well. Its directors were to be private bankers, who would clearly gain more influence and wealth from it. Madison, Randolph, and others joined Jefferson in opposing it. Speaking to Congress, Madison said that the right to regulate trade had little to do with a national bank. Despite the opposition, Congress passed the bill and sent it to the president to sign. Jefferson urged Washington to veto the bank bill. While Washington admitted that he was “greatly perplexed,” he did not want to use the presidential veto. Hamilton eventually persuaded President Washington to be flexible. Washington signed the bill to charter the first **Bank of the United States** in February 1791. [c1]Did their opposing veiwpoints about government start an argument ?
