Thomas Jefferson thought that George Washington overreacted when he ordered the militia to stop the protestors during the Whiskey Rebellion. Many Americans agreed, resulting in Thomas Jefferson soon becoming President.
George Washington's response to the Whiskey Rebellion was to send peace commissioners to negotiate terms with the ones who were rebelling. He also sent militia in case it was necessary, but it turned out that they were not needed. This action by Washington showed the nation that the government had the ability to suppress insurrection. This finally lead to the formation of political parties.

Thomas Jefferson felt that George Washington's actions during the Whiskey Rebellion were inappropriate. He felt that using military force was unnecessary and that George Washington should have never allowed the Whiskey tax to be implemented.
He stopped it by sending federal troops into western pennsylvania to end the protest once and for all. The significance o this action was that it showed the strength of the federal gov't (government) under the Constitution because they no longer used the Articles of Confederation. It was a fitting response to an immediate threat to the federal government.
It was the first time her had to call upon the constitutional army.
He used the authority of the federal government to put down the rebellion
The Whiskey Rebellion during George Washington's Administration where farmers, who had begun to use whiskey produced from surplus grain as a medium of exchange and store of value. This action made the whiskey a currency in the government's eyes and then they levied taxes against it at the instigation of Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. The farmers protested this new tax using the same principles of "No Taxation without Representation" that were the basis for the American Revolution itself.
