Answer 1

Answer:

The Washington dc became the nation's capital rather than new york or Philadelphia because the government members wanted a smaller city they could control, and they found it in Washington.

Explanation:

The decision of moving the capital was the result of political compromise. At the end of the 18th century, the capital was still New York, but the Pennsylvania mutiny forced Congress to move.

First American Congress also wanted the city to develop around the government, so the congress moved from Philadelphia to Washington.
