The national bank: The establishment of the national bank was a key proposal put forward by Hamilton. He argued that a central bank would help stabilize the economy, facilitate trade and commerce, and provide the necessary financial resources for the federal government.
Public debt: Hamilton believed that public debt could be managed responsibly and used to finance necessary public projects and infrastructure. He also argued that a well-managed public debt could contribute to building confidence in the government and its ability to repay its obligations.
Adoption of the Bill of Rights: Hamilton opposed the adoption of the Bill of Rights, fearing it would weaken the power of the federal government and create too many constraints on its authority.
