THE FIRST PRESIDENT
1789—George Washington was unanimously elected by the
Electoral College (we’ll take notes in a moment after this
slide, with more details on this from a webpage).
The election was not what you would think it was, and individual
people did not gain the right to vote until later.
Martha Washington, the first lady, kept up the house,
entertained guests for Washington, and went with Washington
to social events.
Some people, like Abigail Adams, wife of John Adams, felt like she
should do more.
She felt that women should play a more important role in society,
because they educated their children to be good citizens.

ORGANIZING THE GOVERNMENT
It was the federal government’s job to make sure
that government itself had a powerful sense of
organization.
Congress formed departments in the executive
branch to oversee various areas of national policy.
Heads of these departments were cabinet members,
who Washington consulted with.
Judiciary Act of 1789:
Created the federal court system and the court’s location
President nominated potential judges, and Congress
could agree or disapprove.
AMERICA’S EXPECTATION OF
GOVERNMENT
America, like today, had high expectations of
government.
In particular, they did not want government to put
limits on trade, as Britain had once done, and they
wanted the government to protect the people and
the economy.
In 1790, 4 million people lived in the United States,
most working as farmers.
Farmers—wanted taxes and the right to move on to western
lands.
Townspeople (craftspeople, laborers, merchants) wanted help
with businesses, simpler trade laws, and protection from
overseas competitors.
AMERICA’S EXPECTATION OF
GOVERNMENT
Most cities were small (25,000 was
considered large, and only New York and
Philadelphia were this large)
In 1792, 24 Wall Street stock brokers
signed an agreement that created the New
York Stock Exchange we know today.

debt.
11.7 million to foreign countries

sold bonds to raise money. People who
purchased them were told that they would be able
to sell them back at a higher price.
Some people sold their bonds to speculators.

do.
Hamilton’s idea: Repay 21.5 million of the state’s debt.

debt.
Hamilton also had the capital moved from New York to
Philadelphia, and then eventually to Washington D.C.
HAMILTON VERSUS JEFFERSON
Hamilton and Jefferson disagreed about the
role of the central government.
Hamilton wanted a strong federal government.
Jefferson wanted strong powers for the states.

power because he had little faith in the average
person.

to rule the country.

and higher tariffs.
Jefferson backed farming, and lower tariffs.
THE DEBATE OVER THE BANK
In 1791 Hamilton and Jefferson disagreed about the
government’s economic problems.
Hamilton wanted a national bank , so the government
could safely deposit money.
Jefferson believed that Hamilton’s plan gave too much
power to the federal government.
Hamilton supported loose construction of the
Constitution. Jefferson backed strict construction
. Washington and Congress wanted The Bank of the
United States. It helped make the U.S. economy more
stable.
REMAINING NEUTRAL
The French Revolution caused tension between
Britain and France.
Although many Americans were in favor of it,
Washington signed the Neutrality Proclamation ,
stating that America would not choose sides and
become involved.
France asked for American sailors to help, but
Washington would not allow this.
To avoid war between Britain and the United
States, the two countries signed Jay’s Treaty.

PRESIDENT ADAMS AND THE XYZ AFFAIR
(Video based):
Things to know:
THE ALIEN AND SEDITION ACT
passed by Federalists
Became law in 1798
Alien Act: empowered the president to remove foreign
residents he decided were involved in any
treasonable or secret plots against the government .
Sedition Act: forbid U.S. residents to “write, print,
utter, or publish” false or critical words against the
government.
THE ALIEN AND SEDITION ACT
The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions stated
that the acts were unconstitutional.
Jefferson and James Madison said that the
states could disobey unconstitutional federal
laws.
Congress did not repeal the acts, though they
were not renewed.
Ultimately, this paved the way to allow states to
declare Federal laws illegal.
