Alexander Hamilton justified the constitutionality of a National Bank using the "Necessary and Proper Clause" (also called the Elastic Clause) in Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. This clause grants Congress the power to make laws needed to execute its enumerated powers, and Hamilton argued a national bank was essential for managing federal finances, regulating currency, and supporting the government's economic functions. The other options are historically inaccurate.
