All matters not clearly reconciled by the Constitution, such as the establishment of a national bank, must be arbitrated by the federal judiciary

The establishment of the National Bank is necessary to strengthen the U.S. economy & therefore must be allowed even if it's technically unconstitutional

The decision on whether to establish a National Bank, like all important governmental decisions, should be left in the hands of a powerful executive branch

The Constitution forbids the establishment of the bank because creating a bank is not among Congress's enumerated powers
