Mmm, to clear it up, Alexander Hamilton and Madison disagreed about the national bank. Madison thought it was unconstitutional. However, in his presidency, during the war of 1812, Madison approved the second national bank. [/b][/quote]Double-J I'd have to look back through my notes but I am almost positive Madison didn't have any real feelings about the Bank, I think it was Jefferson who was against the bank but as we both know if Jefferson decided he didn't like Madison then Madison wouldn't like Madison either
