Then all along the roads where he passed…it was only said, ‘General Washington is coming,” … the inhabitants all hastened from their houses to the highways, to get a sight of their great countryman; while the people of the towns, hearing of his approach, sallied out…to meet him.

As a result, he had to make many decisions on how the president should act, or what the president should do in certain situations. Many of the decisions he made served as precedents, or examples that American presidents would follow for years to come.Directions: Washington needs your help!

Just like any national tax, the money from a tariff helps the government pay its expenses. Also, by making foreign goods more expensive, a tariff can encourage people to buy goods made in the home country, helping businesses to grow. It is sometimes called a “protective” tariff because it can help protect a country’s economy from foreign competition. People who depend on trade with other countries, however, usually do not like tariffs. The debate over tariffs continues today.00How do tariffs work?A tariff is a tax placed on foreign goods – goods that are imported from other countries.

The bank would earn interest, helping the U.S. government.Jefferson and Madison argued that… There should not be a national bank because nothing in the Constitution allows the national government to create a bank (it was UNCONSTITUTIONAL).

When a person makes this loan to the government, the government gives the person a bond as proof that the loan was made. After a set period of time, the holder of the bond sells it back to the government for the original amount plus interest [more money]. This way, the buyer of the bond can earn a profit in the future while the government can get money for short-term expenses.00How do bonds work?One way the national government borrows money is by selling bonds to ordinary people.

Foreign policy refers to the actions that a nation takes in relation to other nations. During the American Revolution, the United States and France signed a treaty that made the two countries allies. Now, the French wanted the United States to help them in their war against Britain and other countries in Europe. Some Americans agreed, but others wanted to help the British or stay out of it completely. This became a heated debate within Washington’s cabinet. Washington made a decision by issuing his Proclamation of Neutrality.-3810014605“Whereas it appears that a state of war exists between Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Great Britain, and the United Netherlands on the one part and France on the other, the duty and interest of the United States require that we should remain friendly to both sides.Therefore, I warn all citizens of the United States carefully to avoid all actions which may seem to take sides among the warring parties.And I do hereby make known that anyone who helps the war effort of any of the parties or who provides them with forbidden merchandise will not be protected by the United States from punishment.” - George Washington00“Whereas it appears that a state of war exists between Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Great Britain, and the United Netherlands on the one part and France on the other, the duty and interest of the United States require that we should remain friendly to both sides.Therefore, I warn all citizens of the United States carefully to avoid all actions which may seem to take sides among the warring parties.And I do hereby make known that anyone who helps the war effort of any of the parties or who provides them with forbidden merchandise will not be protected by the United States from punishment.” - George WashingtonWASHINGTON’S PROCLAMATION OF NEUTRALITYAccording to Washington, how should the United States act towards the nations at war?

It was very hard to enforce. Americans wanted to trade with both Britain and France. However, the British had begun seizing (capturing) American ships trading with France. Britain wanted to prevent the United States from supplying their enemy country in any way. Washington had had enough. CAUSE Jay’s TreatyEFFECTIn 1793, the British captured over 250 American ships trading in the French West Indies.Many Americans wanted war, but Washington knew we were too weak to fight the British. Instead, he sent John Jay to Britain to try to negotiate a treaty.Chief Justice John Jay negotiated a treaty with the British that stated the following:Britain must pay for damages to seized ships.Britain must give up forts still held on U.S. soil. Americans must pay remaining debt to Britain.Many protested because this treaty did not protect the rights of neutral ships that had been going in and out of French and British territory. The treaty said nothing about British seizing of American ships. This angered the French, who soon began seizing ships as well.Why did some Americans want to go to war with Britain? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________How did Washington attempt to solve this problem with the British? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________Why were many Americans, as well as the French, angered by this treaty?

The Federalist Party, led by Alexander Hamilton, aimed to create a stable and secure country that was safe for business and wealthy men of property. Over in Europe, the French just had a violent revolution where French people overthrew the government by executing the King and Queen. Rumors of a French invasion of the United States and French enemy spies frightened many Americans. President Adams warned that foreign influence within the United States was dangerous and must be stopped.1. In the late 1790s, why was there anti-French feeling in the United States? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The Federalist representatives and senators in Congress were able to pass a series of laws known as the Alien and Sedition Acts. The goal of these acts was to make the U.S. more secure from alien (foreign) spies and American traitors (people who spoke out against the government). Most of these laws, however, were also meant to weaken Thomas Jefferson’s Democratic-Republican Party.078105Excerpt from the Alien Act“…Whenever there shall be a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation…the President of the United States shall make all citizens of hostile [unfriendly] nations living in the United States…apprehended [arrested], restrained, secured and removed as alien enemies.”00Excerpt from the Alien Act“…Whenever there shall be a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation…the President of the United States shall make all citizens of hostile [unfriendly] nations living in the United States…apprehended [arrested], restrained, secured and removed as alien enemies.”2.

They also believed that the Federalist-controlled Congress was abusing its power. Jefferson and Madison believed that each state had the right to nullify, or cancel, any federal law which the state believed was unconstitutional.Jefferson and Madison wrote the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions in response to the Alien and Sedition Acts. The Resolutions declared the Alien and Sedition Acts unconstitutional, and wrote that the acts would not be enforced in those two states. Although no other states approved the resolutions, many citizens became angry at the Federalists and began to shift their support to Jefferson and the Democratic-Republican Party. 6. In your own words, explain the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 7. What would have happened if all of the states had followed Virginia and Kentucky? In other words, what would happen if all states could nullify, or cancel, laws passed by the Federal government? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Name: __________________________ Date: ___________ The New Nation Social Studies 7 John Adams’ Federalist PresidenCY: Foreign POlicy50958753873500When John Adams took office in 1797, one of the first problems he faced was conflict with France. Angered by Jay’s Treaty, the French had begun to seize American merchant ships that were trading with the British. Many Americans, including Alexander Hamilton, wanted war with France.
