Question 3 • FL-2100010-M/J United States History A-CR

In the 1830s, what was one argument in favor of the Second National Bank?

Answer
A
The bank would serve as a foundation for the new economy.
B
The bank kept the value of printed currency stable and steady.
C
The bank helped pay down the debt from the American Revolution.
D
The bank helped benefit the wealthy class and extend their influence.

Explanation

Supporters argued that the Second National Bank helped keep the nation’s currency reliable. By regulating state banks and limiting the spread of poorly backed banknotes, it helped maintain a more stable value for printed currency. The claim that it helped pay down Revolutionary War debt describes an earlier purpose of the First National Bank, not the main argument here.
