the ability to lend money to the federal government

Explanation:

Alexander Hamilton, who was the first secretary of the treasury in America wanted the national bank to have the ability to lend money to the federal government partly because he wanted a national bank to pay off the debt caused by the American Revolution.

He argued that in order for the nation to develop, it needed loans that only a national bank can give so he wanted the national bank to have the ability to lend money to the federal government.
