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.

Did George Washington have any difficult obsticles in hi life?

George Washington had a few obstacles in his presidency that he had to overcome, including the Whiskey Rebellion. Alexander Hamilton, who was also the founder of the Federalist Party, convinced the president to place a tax on some objects, and one of them was whiskey. Since the people made more money when they made their corn into whiskey, they objected. They compared the whiskey tax to the hated taxes Britain had enforced on them (such as the Intolerable Acts). When a tax collecter came to collect the tax, farmers rebelled, burning down his house. When George Washington heard of this, he sent the militia. In his opinion, violence would not be tolerated in a republic. When the farmers heard that 13,000 troops were marching against them, they quickly dispersed.He had to face things like pirate attacking the trade and The United states only have a small army and have no navy
