Answer 1

Major Domestic Policy: Washington was the first President of the United States, making him take a big role in our country. At the time he was in office, the thirteen states were not united and were known as an independent nation. Washington increased the power of the United States by using the Federal government and used The Judiciary Act of 1789 to establish a Court system. When problems began to arise with money during the war for independence, Washington sought help from Hamilton. The United States owed much money to foreign countries and also owed more then $45,000,000 to its citizens. Hamilton formed a plan to create a bank in America. The bill passed congress and was then signed by Washington. The first bank was opened in 1791 and the people for the bank became the Federalist, while the people who disagreed with the bank became the Democratic Republicans. Hamilton then thought of another plan in order to increase revenue to pay of the debts. He created an excise tax on whisky. When this went into effect, riots broke out and The Whisky Rebellion began in 1794. Washington took charge and sent an army of 15,000 soldiers, which ended the rebellion. Washington's time in office help the United States gain some source of stability.

Washington worked towards gaining the United States Stability. Washington sent Thomas Pinckney to talk to Spain in order for the United States to be able to sent ships to the Mississippi river, which was south of the border created by the Treaty of Paris. Once Pinckney returned, he had accomplished to create a treaty that allowed the U.S. the right to use the Mississippi river and the right to drop off items at New Orleans known as the Pinckney Treaty. During this time, John Jay was sent to talk to the British. Great Britain had stated that it would not obey the Treaty of Paris until the United States paid all of its debts to Britain. Jay returned with a Jay Treaty, which stated that British agreed to leave the post, but U.S. ships were not allowed to trade for sugar or molasses with the West Indies.
