because it produced symptoms of riot and violence from men in the western counties of Pennsylvania due to "lay and collect excises". They feared that they would refuse to adhere to the tax and law that was generated through a government that they voted for representation. They put down the rebellion quite seriously with a notable amount of troops to show that they were not messing around and prove a point that these men would pay the tax under the government.

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.
