1790s

   During this time Washington, after eight years in presidency, would give his farewell address to the people and John Adams would come into presidency in 1792 where he would stay for another two terms to come. During his administration, Adams would quickly see consequences for his action when he would send Americans to set peace with the British queen through the Jay treaty. Firstly, it damaged a relationship with America and the French. The French response also known as the XYZ Affair was insulting to the American people. Adams famous response to the issue was "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!" But the jay treaty did help the American west as the Indian problem in the Northwest Territory died down as England discontinued supplying guns to the natives.

    The trying Alien and Sedition acts of 1798 were surely nothing short of controversial. The Federalist Party would argue it to be to protect the government when in actuality the reason it was brought up was to diminish the powers of the Republican support. Jefferson and Madison would quickly come up with the Virginia and Kentucky resolves to fight against the new acts. They deemed that states had the right to shoot down federal laws if it were interfering with the peoples rights. The acts would eventually, be put down in Jeffersons time in presidency with the declare being unconstitutionality on civil rights. In the closing pint of the century in 1800, Jefferson would take his administration into presidency were he pledges to serve in the government for the people.
