Alexander Hamilton was an American revolutionary, statesman, and Founding Father of the United States. In this report of 1791, he advocated a national bank called the Bank of the United States, modeled after the Bank of England. Hamilton believed that a national bank was required to stabilize and improve the nation's credit and to improve the financial order, clarity, and precedence of the United States government under the newly legislated Constitution.

A wonderful piece in which Hamilton defends the constitutionality of the National Bank of America. Written in 1791, it is addressed to the then American president George Washington. It stresses the economic benefits emerging from establishment of the bank. He wrote it in response to the questions raised by Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, regarding the legality of the issue. Informative!
