Washington's Administration and Early Political Development

This section explores the foundational period of American governance under George Washington's leadership and the establishment of key governmental structures.

Definition: Cabinet departments were executive branch divisions created to assist the president in governing, including State, War, Treasury, and the Office of Attorney General.

Example: Thomas Jefferson served as Secretary of State, demonstrating how Washington appointed talented individuals regardless of their political views.

Highlight: George Washington's foreign policy emphasized neutrality, particularly during the conflict between Britain and France in 1793.

Quote: "The young nation should not get involved in foreign wars" - reflecting Washington's commitment to neutrality.

The section details two significant treaties:

Jay's Treaty (1794) - Addressing British interference with American shipping
Pinckney's Treaty (1795) - Securing navigation rights on the Mississippi River

Vocabulary: The "necessary and proper clause" refers to Constitutional provision allowing Congress to make laws needed to carry out its enumerated powers.

Political Parties and Adams Administration

This section examines the emergence of America's first political parties and the challenges faced during John Adams' presidency.

Definition: The first two political parties were the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans, emerging from debates over Hamilton's Economic Plan.

Highlight: The development of the 2-party system fundamentally shaped American politics through ideological division and competition.

Example: The Alien and Sedition Acts demonstrated how political parties used legislation to target opponents.

Quote: Washington warned against "the baneful effects of the spirit of party" in his Farewell Address.

Key developments included:

The X, Y, Z Affair and resulting Quasi-War with France
Implementation of the Alien and Sedition Acts
Convention of 1800 resolving French-American tensions

Vocabulary: "Strict constructionist" refers to those who believed in a literal interpretation of the Constitution, while "loose constructionist" favored broader interpretation.
