Answer:

Leading federal troops to put down the Whiskey Rebellion

Explanation:

In 1791, Congress imposed a special tax on alcoholic beverages, which caused protests in border districts, especially Pennsylvania. In 1794, after Washington ordered protesters to appear before the US district court. In the US, the protests became large-scale riots known as the Whiskey Rebellion. The federal army was too small to be used, so Washington invoked the Police Act of 1792 to summon militias from Pennsylvania, Virginia and other states. The governors sent the troops and Washington took command, marching to the rebel districts.48 There was no fight, but Washington's energetic action showed that the new government could protect itself in any eventuality. It was also one of the two times that a President personally used his military command during the campaign. These events marked the first time under the new Constitution that the federal government used military force to exercise its authority over states and citizens.

The correct answer is A) "leading federal troops to put down the Whiskey Rebellion."

The presidential action of George Washington that helped establish the principle that federal law is the supreme law of the land was "leading federal troops to put down the Whiskey Rebellion."

In 1794, some farmers from Pennsylvania rebelled against the government after it passed a whiskey tax. The uprising increased and the situation became critical. That is why President George Washington had to send federal troops to control the situation. The incident became one of the first critical issues that the federal government had to address.
