On August 18, 1795, President George Washington signs the Jay (or “Jay’s”) Treaty with Great Britain.

This treaty, known officially as the “Treaty of Amity Commerce and Navigation, between His Britannic Majesty; and The United States of America” attempted to diffuse the tensions between England and the United States that had risen to renewed heights since the end of the Revolutionary War. The U.S. government objected to English military posts along America’s northern and western borders and Britain’s violation of American neutrality in 1794 when the Royal Navy seized American ships in the West Indies during England’s war with France. The treaty, written and negotiated by Supreme Court Chief Justice (and Washington appointee) John Jay, was signed by Britain’s King George III on November 19, 1794 in London. However, after Jay returned home with news of the treaty’s signing, Washington, now in his second term, encountered fierce Congressional opposition to the treaty; by 1795, its ratification was uncertain.

Leading the opposition to the treaty were two future presidents: Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. At the time, Jefferson was in between political positions: he had just completed a term as Washington’s secretary of state from 1789 to 1793 and had not yet become John Adams’ vice president. Fellow Virginian James Madison was a member of the House of Representatives. Jefferson, Madison and other opponents feared the treaty gave too many concessions to the British. They argued that Jay’s negotiations actually weakened American trade rights and complained that it committed the U.S. to paying pre-revolutionary debts to English merchants. Washington himself was not completely satisfied with the treaty, but considered preventing another war with America’s former colonial master a priority.

Ultimately, the treaty was approved by Congress on August 14, 1795, with exactly the two-thirds majority it needed to pass; Washington signed the treaty four days later. Washington and Jay may have won the legislative battle and averted war temporarily, but the conflict at home highlighted a deepening division between those of different political ideologies in Washington, D.C. Jefferson and Madison mistrusted Washington’s attachment to maintaining friendly relations with England over revolutionary France, who would have welcomed the U.S. as a partner in an expanded war against England.

In which form of government does a small group of elite people hold political power?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The answer is <u>Oligarchy</u>

Explanation:

Aristotle was the first to use the word oligarchy. The Greek philosopher mentions "the rule of the few", which, according to him, is a corruption of the aristocracy. This small group uses government maintenance to stay in power, concentrate income, and expand their privileges over the dominated class. That is, your interests are always above those of the majority. In this form of concentration, power is also exercised by socioeconomic groups that monopolize the political and symbolic field of a given territory or nation.

You are in a group of six people. As you start to count the number of possible relationships between the different people in the
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

fifteen

Explanation:

To answer that, let's list the people:

  • Person number 1
  • Person number 2
  • person number 3
  • person number 4
  • person number 5
  • person number 6

Now let's organize them in a relationship order in which each one relates to different people:

  • Person number 1, can relate to person number 2, person number 3, person number 4, person number 5 and person number 6. Totaling 5 relationships.
  • Person number 2 can relate to person number 3, person number 4, person number 5 and person number 6. Totaling a total of 4 relationships.
  • Person number 3 can relate to person number 4, person number 5 and person number 6. Totaling 3 relationships.
  • Person number 4 can relate to person number 5 and people number 6. Totaling 2 relationships.
  • Person number 5 and 6 can only relate to one another. Totaling 1 relationship.

Now if we add up the relationship totals for each person (5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1), we will realize that it is only possible to have 15 relationships between different people within a group of 6 people.
