Banking system - as industries began to start and expand the need for capital (in the form of loans) increased, the banking industry became very important to the growth of the economy. Banks were also important to the farmer, who often borrowed money from banks, using their future crop as collateral. James Madison and Thomas Jefferson supported a strict interpretation of the constitution. a national bank was not in the Constitution. Alexander Hamilton supported a loose interpretation of the constitution. He believed having a bank was "necessary and proper" (elastic clause). Based on this view, when the Constitution grants a power to Congress, it also grants Congress the "necessary and proper" means to carry out that power.

The Bank of the United States was extremely powerful and it controlled the nation’s money supply. Jackson viewed this bank as a bank made up of elitists run by private wealthy bankers. When Jackson was given the option to sign a renewed charter bank bill, he decided to veto it instead.

The Bank of the United States is too powerful!!

The Bank of the United States controls all of the money in the U.S.

I can summarize landmark supreme court cases.

McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) {Supreme Court Case} Following the War of 1812, the United States experienced years of high inflation and general economic turmoil. In an attempt to stabilize the economy, the United States congress chartered a Second Bank of the United States in 1816. Maryland and several other states, however, opposed the competition that the new national bank created and passed laws taxing its branches. In 1818, James McCulloch, head of the Baltimore branch of the Second Bank of the United States, refused to pay the tax to the state of Maryland. The case worked its way through the Maryland state courts all the way to the United States Supreme Court.

McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) {Supreme Court Case} The Supreme court declared the Maryland tax unconstitutional and void. More importantly, the decision established the foundation for expanded Congressional authority. The court held that the necessary and proper clause of the Constitution allows congress to do more than the Constitution expressly authorizes it to do. The decision allows Congress to enact nearly any law that will help it achieve and of its duties as set forth in the Constitution. The necessary and proper clause permits Congress to do so in ways not actually specified in the constitution.

Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) {Supreme Court Case} Thomas Gibbons had a federal license to operate a steamboat along the coast, but he did not have a license from the state of New York to travel on New York waters. He wanted to run a steamboat line between Manhattan and New Jersey that would compete with Aaron Ogden’s company. Ogden had a New York License. Gibbons sued for the freedom to use his federal license to compete against Ogden on New York waters. Gibbons won the case. The Supreme Court made it clear that the authority of Congress to regulate interstate commerce (among states) includes the authority to regulate intrastate commerce (within a single state) that bears on, or relates to, interstate commerce.

Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) {Supreme Court Case} Before this decision, it was thought that the Constitution would permit a state to close its borders to interstate commercial activity– which, in effect, would stop such activity in its tracks. This case says that a state can regulate purely internal commercial activity, but only Congress can regulate commercial activity that has both intrastate and interstate dimensions.
