In March of 1789, George Washington and John Adams were elected the first president and vice president of the thirteen colonies. After they were inaugurated into office the thirteen colonies officially became the United States of America. Former-President George Washington expanded the executive branch. He did this by adding the positions of Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, and Secretary of War. The men who filled the positions were Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and Henry Knox. In addition, a man named John Jay was appointed Chief Justice by President George Washington himself.

Former-President George Washington resolved Foreign and domestic problems by the Jay Treaty and Pinckney Treaty. The Jay Treaty forced the British to remove forts on American soil. The Pinckney Treaty allowed American merchants to trade through the city of New Orleans without paying a tax. These were incredible treaties, because they allowed more people to trade for less. In addition, this reduced debt in America.

Alexander Hamilton created major restoration in the United States. He thought of brilliant ideas in order to get the country out of debt. His method’s on doing this actually worked. He got the country out of debt by raising to prices on foreign commodities, giving businesses credit(loans), and a National Bank. These were all beneficial for the United States. The United States would have gotten out of debt sooner if Alexander was not shot. The third president of the United States was Thomas Jefferson. Under his first term the United States made a purchase from the French know as the Louisiana Purchase.

I believe that the first and third presidents had the best political and economical stance that ever happened to America. I don’t think that any other president was as successful as they were. I think that this can happen again. This could happen if voters elect a man wjo is passionate about politics and is honest. In addition, the man needs to have an economical mind similar to Alexander Hamilton.
