Novanet: To ensure that goverment and business interests were aligned.
Alexander Hamilton, as the first Secretary of the Treasury, advocated for a strong central bank to stabilize the nation's economy, but he also recognized the need to limit its power. He proposed a federal charter for the Bank of the United States, which included provisions such as a limited charter duration and oversight by the federal government. These measures aimed to prevent the bank from becoming too powerful and to ensure it served the public interest rather than solely private profit. Hamilton's intention was to balance the bank's role in promoting economic growth while safeguarding against potential abuses of power.
Hamilton suggested limiting it to a 20 year charter; then it would be up to Congress to decide whether to extend charter He also asked states to open their own banks so the national bank wouldn't have monopoly.
