Answer 1

1. Two precedents set by President George Washington include: establishing the Cabinet system (advisors to the President) and serving only two terms in office.2. The first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are better known as the Bill of Rights.3. The Alien and Sedition Acts, viewed by many as an overreach of federal power and a violation of free speech, contributed to John Adams becoming a one-term president.4. The United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France.5. **Federalists:** Supported a strong central government and the ratification of the Constitution. **Anti-Federalists:** Favored stronger state governments and initially opposed the Constitution due to concerns about a powerful central government and the lack of a bill of rights.6. President Thomas Jefferson purchased the Louisiana Territory for $15 million.7. The XYZ Affair involved the United States and France.8. **Separation of Powers** divides governmental power among three branches: legislative (makes laws), executive (enforces laws), and judicial (interprets laws). **Balance of Powers** refers to the system that prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful by giving each branch some ability to check or restrain the power of the other two.9. Alexander Hamilton helped George Washington establish a National Bank.10. The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States, providing vast new territories for westward expansion, access to the Mississippi River and the port of New Orleans, and abundant natural resources. While beneficial to the nation's growth and power, the purchase was not good for everyone. It led to the displacement and further oppression of Native American tribes whose lands were taken. It also expanded the area where slavery was practiced, exacerbating the institution and intensifying the suffering of enslaved African Americans. The purchase ultimately contributed to the growing sectional tensions over slavery that would eventually lead to the Civil War.
