Well, one that I can think of is the Iran Nuclear Crisis/deal. Thankfully, the United States pulled out of the deal.
There were a great number of documents floating around during the
early 1800s. Each of them would tell us something different about life
in the United States during that time. So the answer to this question
completely depends on which individual document from the time is
being consulted. Since you have not specified the document, it's not
possible to nail down an answer.
Federalist number 10 discourses the question of how to guard in conflict of the factions or group of netizens with the well-being contrary to the rights of others or the interests of the whole community. Madison debated that a strong, big republic would be an improved guard counter to those dangers than smaller republics for example the individual states. Madison thought there were only two ways to cure the problem of factions: remove the cause or control the effects. He hastily terminates the first since it would either destroy liberty or require everyone to have the same opinions the same passions and the same interest. Madison believed the solution can be found in the extended republic that the framer created. A minor state might be devastated by factions with higher quantity of representatives that would be chosen would guard against the cabals of a few. Madison recognized the ineffectiveness of trying to eliminate passion or human sinfulness and as an alternative designed a system that minimalized the effect of factions and still delivered the utmost amount of liberty for its citizen.
