Strong state governments, weak central
government
States should not be subjected to a national tax of
any kind. There should be no tariffs on imports.
Farming is the main economic activity that the
US should protect and support

Part I - Analysis Question: Based on the information in this chart, predict what Hamilton and Jefferson
would do in the following scenario:
There is a proposal to create a National Bank of the United States. The power to create this bank is not
explicitly listed in the US Constitution, but those who support it cite the elastic clause (which suggests that
congress can do anything necessary and proper for the functioning of our nation) as a reason why this bank
would be constitutional. Those who oppose it believe it is an expansion of Federal power therefore
dangerous.

In 1979 the US had her first bank in Pennsylvania - located in Philadelphia. The President, Directors and the bank company were together involved in establishing this bank. Hence, together they are known as the First Bank of the United States. However, the system of this bank did not reflect the modern central bank; instead it had regulated private banks (without monetary policy).
