Washington to Adams Discussion Board Assignment July 8

Washington Presidency Question

This is the first discussion board assignment for the 2nd half of the class. Ready to chop down that cherry tree? You read Chapters 9A and 10 as well as the lecture on George Washington as well as watching the Washington videos and then you become George Washington as first president. As George Washington you are going to tell how you decided to set up the basic system of government, what you think about political parties, how you handled the economy with help of Alexander Hamilton, and finally the problems you faced in foreign policy in your second term. Once you have read those chapters about George and his presidency, you are ready for the transformation to first president.

(((How do you feel that our government today reflects the decisions that Washington made that became our traditions of government. Let us have some discussion in this area.)))
