 | | The national Bank would confer many benefits on the government including a ready source of loans, a principal depository for federal monies that were transferable from city to city without charge, and a clearing agent for payments on the national debt. | | | The political die of the United States was cast with that document, and by 1792 the economic base of Federalism was in place, first with the Federal funding of national and state war debts, and second, with a sound national Bank in place to give coherence to the developing U.S. financial system. | | | One of the highlights of the relationship was the Bank's efficient managing of the government's fiscal affairs with respect to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. |

| | The Avalon Project : President Jackson's Veto Message Regarding the Bank of the United States; July 10, 1832 |
| | In some States that tax is now I per cent, either on the capital or on the shares, and that may be assumed as the amount which all citizen or resident stockholders would be taxed under the operation of this act. | | | It is not their public agency or the deposits of the Government which the States claim a right to tax, but their banks and their banking powers, instituted and exercised within State jurisdiction for their private emolument-those powers and privileges for which they pay a bonus, and which the States tax in their own banks. | | | We may not pass an act prohibiting the States to tax the banking business carried on within their limits, but we may, as a means of executing our powers over other objects, place that business in the hands of our agents and then declare it exempt from State taxation in their hands. |

| | The Bank of the United States may have been a necessary instrument for fiscal operations of the U.S. government but it was also a private commercial bank. | | | But the Bank of the United States was a private institution and foreign buyers purchased ownership shares of the bank until the 70 percent of the bank was owned by foreigners. | | | The private banks which criticized the expansion of the Second Bank also criticized its contraction because the reduction in credit jeopardized the solvencies of some businesses which were also debtors of those same private banks. |

| | The bank was not a central bank; it just held an account for the government and had little control over the fiscal policies in each state. | | | Biddle cracked down on fraud in within the bank, and also helped to reduce the reckless credit extension by reducing the amount of loans the bank was allowed to extend. | | | First was to create a national currency, which was lacking before, and second to create incorporated banks that were given their charters by the federal government. |

| | The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. | | | The twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks, which were established by the Congress as the operating arms of the nation's central banking system, are organized much like private corporations—possibly leading to some confusion about “ownership.” For example, the Reserve Banks issue shares of stock to member banks. | | | This prime rate is the rate that most banks price their loans at for their best customers. |
