What is a Precedent?
An example followed by future generations.
Precedent #1- Choosing department heads (cabinet)a. Sec. of State- Thomas Jeffersonb. Sec. of Treasury- Alexander Hamiltonc. Sec. of War- Henry Knoxd. Today there are 15 members of the cabinet.
***Reason: would unite country because would reassure the Americans that the President was not making critical decisions on his own.***
Precedent #2- Only held office for 2 terms (8 years)
***Reason: This would unite the 13 states because it would eliminate the possibility of the U.S. becoming like a monarchy or dictatorship where one person holds power for an extended period of time***

Domestic (The Whiskey Rebellion)
-Pennsylvania farmers refused to pay a tax on whiskey.
-To help make money & save crop many farmers made whiskey out of grain.
-Washington marched with 12,000 troops to western P.A. to take down rebellion. Never fought, the rebels surrendered.
-Washington wanted to prove that the federal government had the power and will to enforce laws.
Washington left office in 1797 In his farewell address he spoke of
the dangers to the American Republic• Political Parties
Would create more division in a country already divided by regions, geography and culture.
