Answer: A) The government was in debt.

Explanation: After the American Revolution, the newly formed country was in debt after fighting the British. The debt eventually grew to $75 Million (equal to $2,198,616,477.27 today) and continued to grow up until Andrew Jackson shrank the nation's debt to $0.
