CHAPTER 9 STUDY GUIDE

PUT IT ALL TOGETHER

Now, take a step back and try to explain the big picture. Remember to use specific examples from the chapter in your answers.

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS What important precedents did George Washington set? How did he use the presidency to bring political stability to the country? How did Hamilton imagine the future of the United States? How did his vision conflict with that of Jefferson?	NATIONAL SECURITY What were the most important threats to America’s national security in the 1790s? How did the Washington and Adams administrations respond to those threats? How did the French Revolution contribute to the split between Federalists and Republicans in the United States?
FEDERALISTS AND REPUBLICANS What led to the factionalizing of American politics in the 1790s? How did the development of political factions affect the country domestically? In its external affairs?	LOOKING BACKWARD, LOOKING AHEAD How did the government Washington headed differ from the government created by the Articles of Confederation? What steps had been taken toward the creation of national political parties by 1800? What steps were still required before a true party system was in place?
