== == The Congress. Art. I, sec 1 of the Constitution.
Theoretically in the United States, it is congress. The constitution gives congress the right to overrule any Supreme Court decision. It has never done that. It gives congress rights over decisions of the Executive branch. Congress usually defers. There is a difference between being the final authority and having common sense.
This answer needs some explanation. The US Constitution was not "adopted" by the "continental congress." By that time there no longer was a "continental congress" in the same form as the one that had adopted the Declaration Of Independence. There was a "Congress" under the Articles of Confederation and it authorized the formation of a "Constitutional Convention" to revise the Articles of Confederation on February 21, 1787. On September 17, 1787, the Constitutional Convention adopted the final form of the US Constitution, presented it to Congress and recommended its ratification by the states. on September 28, 1787, Congress directed that the proposed Constitution be sent to the legislatures of each state so that they could form their own Constitutional Conventions for the purposes of ratifying the Constitution.
Article I of the Constitution refers to the legislative branch otherwise known as Congress, of the federal government.

Thus he opposed the creation of the bank because the constitution did not specifically grant power to Congress to create one. Alexander Hamilton favor the bank, because he believed in lose construction of the Constitution, and according to the "Elastic clause", the congress can do whatever that is for the good of the people. Thus Hamilton was for the creation of the national bank.
Granting Congress any power not explicitly granted by the Constitution will remove all limits on its power other than what Congress itself believes to be the good of the nation.
