The National Bank• How it Works:

– Sell bonds to citizens & use money to pay off debts

• Bonds purchased by wealthy – they could afford it

• Controversy:– Created alliance between

wealthy & economy/gov’t.– Many northerners bought

bonds– The South already paid off

war debts!– Most: Was the National

Bank constitutional??

• Hamilton Justifies the Bank:– Stated the “elastic clause” gave him authority to create

the bank• The gov’t. may make any law it deems “necessary & proper”

to govern the country effectively

Which side do you fall on: Jefferson or Hamilton. Why defend your

answer.

Washington, DC

• To win Southern support, Hamilton suggested the capital to be moved to Maryland/Virginia border– To appease Southern anger over the National Bank

• South outraged because most bonds were owned in North, but paid for by the South

• Completed in 1800

• Jefferson & Madison (Southerners) felt this would make the nat’l gov’t. more responsive to Southern needs

• Moving the capital to DC marked the importance of Southern politics

Tariffs & Taxes• Purpose:

– To raise money for the gov’t. • Which will help pay off debt

– To protect American industry

• Protective Tariff:– Tax placed on foreign goods

– We don’t buy more expensive products & buy US made goods

Tariffs & Taxes (Cont’d)
