This document provides a timeline of key events from the Early Republic period in the United States, beginning with the establishment of the new Constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation. It discusses several early presidents including Washington, the Whiskey Rebellion, the rise of political parties, and challenges faced by John Adams including the XYZ Affair and passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts. The timeline touches on major domestic and foreign policy issues of the era.
25. Taxation
• High taxes take money from the
consumer so the government can
provide services that benefit the
economy and citizens
• Low taxes leave more money for the
consumer to spend and stimulate the
economy
26. Anyway, farmers in
Pennsylvania were
unhappy about this
tax levy (charge)
27. So they
rebelled
against the tax
on grains used
to make their
whiskey
45. 8.5C 55
Political Parties
Democratic-Republicans
• Limited national government

Constitution
• No National Bank or tariffs
(taxes)
• Agricultural economy
Federalists
• Strong national government
• Loosely following the

government
47. And they faced the same issues our political
parties face today…

8.5A: Creating a stable economic system
The United States had substantial debt from fighting the Revolutionary War
National Bank – based on a loose interpretation of the elastic clause of the Constitution, the bank was “necessary and proper” to carry out the government’s duties. Based on this view, when the Constitution grants a power to Congress, it also grants Congress the “necessary and proper” means to carry out that power.
