I agree with Alexander Hamilton regarding the formation of a national bank in Philadelphia. Hamilton argued that a national bank would help manage the country's finances, stabilize the economy, and create a uniform currency. He believed that establishing credit was essential for the nation’s growth and prosperity. According to Hamilton, having a central bank would allow for “safe and adequate management of public funds.”
On the other hand, Thomas Jefferson was against the idea, fearing it would give too much power to the federal government and undermine states' rights. While I understand his concerns, I think having a national bank is crucial for economic stability. A national bank can help keep track of the money supply and make sure the government can fund its operations. Hamilton’s vision, which includes being able to help “promote the general welfare,” would ultimately lead to a stronger and more united nation. So, I believe Hamilton’s argument for a national bank is more beneficial for America’s future.
