An plan to fortify and bring together the nation, the American System was advanced by the Whig Party and various leading government officials including Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun and John Quincy Adams. The System was a new type of federalism that included:  

• Backing for a high levy to secure American ventures and produce income for the government  
• Support of high open land costs to produce government income  
• Safeguarding of the Bank of the United States to settle the money and rein in unsafe state and local banks
