James Madison vetoed the Bonus Bill because he, like Jefferson, found "internal improvements" to be unconstitutional despite how benevolent it would be. He found the right to create canals and roads to be held by the states alone according to his constitutional interpretation. The republican interpretation of the constitution back then was strict and not open to many (if any) implications
