The Problem The national government and state governments had borrowed by issuing bonds — certificates that promise to repay the money loaned, plus interest, on a certain date.

The Debate Hamilton—the federal government must repay both federal and state debts by buying up the old bonds and issuing new ones. The United States must repay all debts so it won ’ t lose the trust of investors. Madison—Hamilton ’ s plan would reward speculators. They shouldn‘t make a big profit on the war. Besides, most southern states have already paid their debts. Other states should do the same.

to encourage economic growth The government deposited money from taxes in the Bank. The Bank issued paper money to pay the government ’ s bills and make loans to farmers and businesses. to make imported goods more expensive than American-made goods Hamilton and many northerners wanted a high tariff to protect American goods from foreign competition. Southern farmers opposed a high tariff. Congress passed a tariff, but it was lower than the tariff Hamilton wanted.
