Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall were both leading Federalists. How do the views expressed by Marshall in the Supreme Court decision Marbury v. Madison (6.5 Political Lens in textbook) and those expressed by Hamilton in his opinion regarding the constitutionality of the national bank (6.5 Economic Lens in textbook) reflect the outlook and vision of the Federalist Party? Why was it especially important to the Federalists to uphold and honor the United States Constitution? For the full version of Hamilton's opinion regarding the constitutionality of the national bank see here. For Jefferson's opposing view, see here.
