SInce this question is supposed to be answered based on your opinion, I can only list the pros and cons, or else it won't be your opinion anymore.
Pros:
- the United states needed something to repay the debt from the Revolutionary war
-There needed to be a singular unified currency because it would stop conflict in the states
- A stabilized currency and credit would lead to a stabilized country and economy
Cons:
- The 10th Amendment was cited by Thomas Jefferson
- Jefferson stated that the government did not have the right to establish a national bank
- A national bank could give unlimited authority to the Federal government, since the majority of the finances and manufacturing were run by the North
First paragraph:
It was important for Washington to enforce the extra tax on whiskey because the United states needed something to help repay the war debts. The tax was placed on whiskey because it was a domestic product at the time. If it had not been enforced, the government would not have been strong enough to function properly. Washington's use of force showed the stability of the Constitution and how the government would not hesitate to use force when necessary, discouraging the thought of further rebellion.
Second paragraph:
Even before the tax, farmers were already struggling with money issues. The crops they used would be distilled for whiskey, which was their main source of money. The extra tax made it even harder for the farmers to purchase or to sell for the amount they needed, which lead to fear of losing money.
