Congress decided to create the bank anyways and therefore formed the Bank of the United States.
That Congress did it anyway and had the power or right to do so. George Washington agreed, and that was when the national bank was created.

For one, they both hated each other, so that complicated things. But also, Jefferson was an anti-federalist, he believed that the powers of the federal government were limited to what explicitly stated in the constitution, and the Bank, which would give the federal government significant power over the economy, was a big no-no.

Madison opposed the establishment of a national bank because of his and Jefferson's beliefs that the ability to control commerce did not constitute a right to create a bank. As you know, Jefferson and Madison were Democratic-Republicans, who were set up by Jefferson to strictly follow the Constitution, i.e. if its not spelled out, it falls under the rights of the people & the state rather then the Federal Government. The creation of National Banks was not in the Bill of Rights, which led Jefferson and Madison to believe that, under the 10th Amendment, the right was retained by the people and the states. However, the Constitution promises the Federal Government the ability to control commerce. This led to the major counter-argument from the Federalists. So, part of the reason Madison opposed the Bank was because of Jefferson and Madison's beliefs that the ability to control commerce did not constitute a right to create a bank. However, it is evident through on of Jefferson's famous quotes that this was not the only reason: "I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies." -Thomas Jefferson It only makes sense to me that Madison agreed to and carried on this ideal stated by Jefferson. The exact reasons Jefferson believed this are broad, and I wouldn't know where to start or end. Who was right? That argument is still a valid one (look up opposition to the Federal Reserve). I can tell you who won though; up until Jackson's presidency, the Bank of the United States continued to issue notes.

The Democratic-Republican Party, led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, opposed the creation of a national bank in the late 1700s and early 1800s. They believed that a national bank would give too much power to the federal government and favored a more limited role for the central government.
