The US Supreme Court concluded that Congress had the right to charter a federal bank, as an implied power (also called unenumerated powers) of Article I, Section 8, because the bank was being used to further Congress' constitutional authority to tax and distribute funds.The Court also held that the Supremacy Clause, which subordinates state laws to federal and US Constitutional law, prohibited the states from taxing any constitutional means the federal government uses to execute its powers.Case Citation:McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 US 316 (1819)
First Bank of the United States The war left us in debt. Some states were bankrupt. We needed one unified currency ... Hamilton suggested a central bank. First Bank of the United States was needed because the government had a debt from the Revolutionary War, and each state had a different form of currency. It was built while Philadelphia was still the nation's capital. Alexander Hamilton conceived of the bank to handle the colossal war debt - and to create a standard form of currency. Up to the time of the bank's charter, coins and bills issued by state banks served as the currency of the young country. The First Bank's charter was drafted in 1791 by the Congress and signed by George Washington. In 1811, Congress voted to abandon the bank and its charter. The bank was originally housed in Carpenters' Hall from 1791 to 1795. The neo-classical design of the bank was intended to recall the democracy and splendor of ancient Greece. When you're there, note the eagle which crowns the two-story portico. At the time of the bank's creation the eagle had been our national symbol for only 14 years. The bank building was restored for the Bicentennial in 1976
