Correct answer: b. in the late 18th century

The specific year that the First Bank of the United States was formed was 1791.

Further details:

In his role as Secretary of the Treasury, federalist leader Alexander Hamilton worked to establish the First Bank of the United States. The federalist argument for such a bank referenced the "necessary and proper" clause of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States. In the Constitution, after enumerating a number of the powers of Congress, including borrowing money, coining money, regulating commerce, etc, Section 8 of Article I closes 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."

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 such an institution. The First Bank of the United States existed from 1791 till 1811, when its charter expired and was not renewed by Congress.

The Second Bank of the United States was formed in 1816, and also existed for a 20-year charter period, from 1816 to 1846.

James Madison faced challenges at home and abroad what were those

lisov135 [29]

These challenges were mostly about the war of 1812. Domestically he had to lead the country against enemies since the war was fought on American soil and the enemies were British soldiers. When it came to foreign policies, he managed to repeal the embargoes on trading with the US for all countries except Britain and France which enraged the two. At home, he also had issues with Native Americans whom he wanted to protect from people who wanted to settle their lands.

Settlement patterns
Although the land that now constitutes the United States was occupied and much affected by diverse Indian cultures over many millennia, these pre-European settlement patterns have had virtually no impact upon the contemporary nation—except locally, as in parts of New Mexico. A benign habitat permitted a huge contiguous tract of settled land to materialize across nearly all the eastern half of the United States and within substantial patches of the West. The vastness of the land, the scarcity of labour, and the abundance of migratory opportunities in a land replete with raw physical resources contributed to exceptional human mobility and a quick succession of ephemeral forms of land use and settlement. Human endeavours have greatly transformed the landscape, but such efforts have been largely destructive. Most of the pre-European landscape in the United States was so swiftly and radically altered that it is difficult

What do you think would happen if the idea of suffrage had been left out of the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions ?

The world would not be any different except that you would not have had an opportunity to ask your previous question. The Russians would still have more influence on U.S. elections than the Declaration of Sentiments.
