Hamilton's next objective was to create a Bank of the United States, modeled after the Bank of England. A national bank would collect taxes, hold government funds, and make loans to the government and borrowers. One criticism directed against the bank was "unrepublican"--it would encourage speculation and corruption. The bank was also opposed on constitutional grounds. Adopting a position known as "strict constructionism," Thomas Jefferson and James Madison charged that a national bank was unconstitutional since the Constitution did not specifically give Congress the power to create a bank.
Hamilton responded to the charge that a bank was unconstitutional by formulating the doctrine of "implied powers." He argued that Congress had the power to create a bank because the Constitution granted the federal government authority to do anything "necessary and proper" to carry out its constitutional functions (in this case its fiscal duties).
In 1791, Congress passed a bill creating a national bank for a term of 20 years, leaving the question of the bank's constitutionality up to President Washington. The president reluctantly decided to sign the measure out of a conviction that a bank was necessary for the nation's financial well-being.

Additional details about the establishment of Constantinople:
Constantine built his new capital city to resemble "Old Rome." Constantine made his own capital city in monumental fashion, but wanted to give it also the prestige and aura of the Roman Empire. The building of Constantinople took several years, and Constantine modeled it after Rome, with government buildings designed in Roman style.
The existing city of Byzantium was the place Constantine built up and renamed after himself as Constantinople. (That's why the Eastern Roman Empire often is referred to as the Byzantine Empire.)
Today, Istanbul is the name of the city that was once Byzantium and then Constantinople.

Evaluate the extent to which the progressive movement fostered political change in the united states from 1890 to 1920.
During a time of many changes in the conformation of the United States, the Progressive movement from 1890 to 1920 was a period where reformations accomplished many things that the American people needed. The most important: to modernize a federal government that needed a "shake and some cleaning," and reformations that improved education and promoted suffrage for women in America. Many journalists started to investigate corruption cases in the government and exposed them in their newspapers. The passage of the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution was another important piece of legislation in the Progressive Era.
