The first five presidents of the United States—Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe—sought to expand the power of the presidency and the federal government through various means. Washington established precedents for a strong executive, including the formation of a Cabinet and the assertion of federal authority in conflicts like the Whiskey Rebellion. Adams expanded federal power through the Alien and Sedition Acts, while Jefferson, despite being a proponent of limited government, doubled the nation's size with the Louisiana Purchase. Madison and Monroe continued to assert federal authority, particularly in foreign policy, promoting the idea of a strong national government capable of safeguarding national interests.
