ReplyDeleteAlthough it seems like a bad idea in theory, Hamilton's idea of adding more national debt was significant. It would add all the states debt into one whole national debt. This would allow the US to pay it back quicker, saving us money, and let money flow through the colonies as a result (as now they didn't owe anything). However, this wasn't fair to the south because they already paid off their debt individually, so they didn't want to pay more. Eventually the south agreed after compromising that the capital would be moved to Washington DC (once made). Other counties would see that the US is reliable and pays back their debts so they invested in American businesses, which in a long run helps us as a new nation.

ReplyDeleteSimran Kaur Period 1
What was the National Bank and why was the government allowed to create it?
ReplyDeleteSimran Kaur Period 1
The National Bank was a bank just for the government. The government was allowed to create it because, although it didn't say that the government COULD have a bank of its own, the Constitution DID state that congress can pass any laws that are deemed "necessary and proper". Hamilton urged congress to make the bank, and it caused a debate, but in the end the Nation Bank was established.

ReplyDeleteBliss Blenman period 7
Imani Davis period 9
ReplyDeleteWashington was opposed to political parties because they encourage partisan politics. Belonging to a political party creates an automatic bias in the mind of an individual when any issue is discussed. Without even knowing the issue at hand, that individual has already chosen a side.
Why did Hamilton choose to combine all of the state debt?
ReplyDeleteImani Davis period 9
Alexandra Lattuca period 1
ReplyDeleteHamilton chose to combine all of the state debt because he would add it to the national debt, causing each state to be free of debt. This also made it easier to pay the money back quicker and this resulted in the US having a cheaper interest rate.
