Question

why did thomas jefferson object to letting the national government issue a charter for a national bank?

the states have the power to put themselves between the national government and any infringement on individual liberties.

a national bank is not the most convenient method for managing the nation’s finances.

giving congress any power not explicitly granted by the constitution will remove all limits on its power.

all purposes served by the national bank could just as easily be performed by the treasury department and a system of treasury notes.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson was a strict constructionist of the Constitution, believing Congress should only exercise powers explicitly granted. Issuing a national bank charter was not an explicit power in the Constitution, so he feared it would remove limits on congressional power (matching the third option). The first option relates to states' rights/individual liberties (not directly about the bank's charter), the second is incorrect as a national bank was a convenient finance method for many, and the fourth is not his main objection (focus was on constitutional authority, not Treasury replacement).

Answer:

C. Giving Congress any power not explicitly granted by the Constitution will remove all limits on its power.
