Hamilton's argument was based on the "necessary and proper" clause of Article I, Section 8, of the United States Constitution.
After enumerating a number of the powers of Congress, including borrowing money, coining money, regulating commerce, etc, Section 8 of Article I closes with by saying Congress shall have power "to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."  
Hamilton favored a loose interpretation of the Constitution -- in other words, that the Constitution allows for anything that is not strictly forbidden in what it has expressly stated.  A national bank was not strictly listed as something Congress could establish, but there was nothing in the Constitution to prohibit it.  And the "necessary and proper" clause gave leeway to create it.

How would the Soviet unions military strength have affected how the world thought about the Soviet Union?
Allisa [31]

The military strength of the Soviet Union was remarkable. The Soviet Union played a large role during World War II, helping the Allies win the war. Such military strength meant that other regions became more concerned about the capabilities of the nation.

Several other countries began to worry about the possibility of the Soviet Union spreading the ideas of communism all over the world. They were also concerned about the possibility of the country attacking those who refused to follow their ideals. The Soviet Union was also a source of concern because it was known that they had access to nuclear weapons. These elements meant that many countries in the world (particularly the United States) began to think of the Soviet Union more as a more dangerous and threatening menace, and less as an ally.
