Describing the Challenges of the Washington and Adams Administrations
After the Federalists won the debate and ratified the Constitution, they faced two challenges. One was to find ways to govern the nation while smoothing over Anti-Federalist resistance to the centralized federal government. At the same time they had to govern according to the Constitution and their own principles. Describe in two to three sentences in the tables below the challenges that the Washington and Adams administrations faced because of the Federalist and Anti-Federalist conflict. Explain how they overcame or did not overcome those challenges.
