he made a national bank
Thomas Jefferson didn't approve of it because of strict interpretation-if it's not in the constitution, then you can't do it
Alexander Hamilton got it approve because of loose interpretation- finding loopholes to get things done--he used the part that said that if it is necessary, then it is fine (in the constitution)
Jefferson wanted to pay off debts; Hamilton did not.
James Madison!
The reason that some people did not like Alexander Hamilton's idea in 1790 is because they were opposed of Hamilton's plan to pay off debts. Many war debts were already fulfilled in the South. The North was still obligated to pay their debt and Hamilton felt aiding in paying off this debt would be beneficial for the economy. The South however was opposed due to the fact they already contributed into paying off their debt.
Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton believed that foreign debts should be honored and paid off in full to establish the United States' creditworthiness and strengthen its financial reputation. He argued that settling these debts would foster trust among foreign nations and investors, thereby promoting economic stability and attracting investment. Hamilton's approach was part of his broader financial plan, which aimed to lay a solid foundation for the nation's economy. He viewed the payment of debts as essential for building a strong and credible national government.
