  • Early Republic Addressing Challenges 1789-1828
    • In this chapter, you will learn about life in the new nation, from the Presidency of George Washington to that of James Monroe. Our earliest Presidents established many new traditions that have survived until today. America also greatly expanded in size in those years and preserved its independence in the War of 1812. This period is known as the early republic. This is the period from 1789-1824 when the first government under the Constitution was formed. THINK ABOUT IT… • You might think that the ratification of the United States Constitution settled the question of exactly what the American government was supposed to do. In fact, it did not. Even before President Washington took office, different factions offered different ideas about what the Constitution allowed government to do. • Suppose that you are about to take office as the first President of the United States and you have access to today’s technology. On a separate sheet of paper, write a series of five or six tweets or a short blog post explaining to the American people exactly what you think governments should do and why. THE PRESIDENCY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON • In 1789, George Washington was inaugurated as the nation’s first President. As President, Washington guided the new government as it applied the ideas expressed in the Constitution to create a functioning federal republic. Upon taking office, Washington faced several major challenges. He had to define the authority of the central government, create a stable economic system, build a military, maintain national security, conduct foreign relations, and enter into treaties with several Indian tribes.

Colonial leaders had talked of canals along the Atlantic seaboard, of a waterway from the Hudson to the Great Lakes, of improving the principal rivers flowing into the Atlantic and of connecting them with the western waters by roads across the most convenient portages. In the last two decades of the eighteenth century, state and private enterprise, promoted by George Washington and other land speculators and politicians, attacked all these tasks. On the whole, they failed. Scarcity of capital, local jealousies and conflicts of state interests put the more ambitious im- provements temporarily beyond the power of any American agency less well-financed than the federal government,^" Following the American Revolution, capital was scarce in the new American states.

  • Enlightenment Economics and the Framing of the U.S. Constitution
    ENLIGHTENMENT ECONOMICS AND THE FRAMING OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION RENÉE LETTOW LERNER* Did the Framers have an economic theory in mind when they wrote and ratified the U.S. Constitution? Some say the principal Framers did not have a common, cohesive set of views on eco‐ nomics.1 Others consider the question to be irrelevant. Society and constitutional interpretation have moved on, these commen‐ tators argue, so what the Framers thought or whether they em‐ bedded economic views in the Constitution has about as much relevance today as a typewriter. Another possible position is that the Framers might have had common understandings about economics but largely left them out of the Constitution, except in odd bits like the Contracts Clause or the Takings Clause. The principal Framers did, in fact, share a basic set of eco‐ nomic views, though they did not agree on all economic ques‐ tions. These economic views permeate the Constitution and are not manifest only in odd clauses. Many structural features of the Constitution are designed to further desirable economic ends, as the Framers envisioned them. I. ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT What was the content of the Framers’ economic beliefs, and where did those beliefs come from? These economic beliefs were shared throughout Europe in the late eighteenth century, although events in America helped to reinforce them. Historians and students of philosophy have long explored the political thought of the Enlightenment: the contractual theories of Locke, the checks and balances of Montesquieu, and * Associate Professor of Law, The George Washington University Law School. Bradford Clark, Craig Lerner, and Arthur Wilmarth gave helpful comments and suggestions.

  • Conquering Space Through Internal Improvements: Federal Nation-Building in 19Th-Century America
    Conquering Space through Internal Improvements: Federal Nation-Building in 19th-Century America October 2019 Word Count: 8,623 Abstract Early American political leaders were tasked with sustaining a representative republic on a seemingly impossible scale. Their struggle to stave off political dissolution raises an important question for scholars of federalism. How can democratic governments integrate disparate political communities across a vast – and rapidly expanding – territory? We revisit the solution most-often proposed by contemporary political leaders: a nationally directed system of internal improvements. Using a dataset of 19th-century appropriations, we find that patterns in internal improvement funding are consistent with a nation-building strategy. Congressional districts at the fringes of the republic received disproportionate support from the federal government, even after accounting for political preferences, positions of legislative authority, and sub-national spending patterns. Our research stands in contrast to existing work on internal improvements – which is primarily interested in testing theories of distributive politics – and contributes to a diverse body of research on federalism, nation-building, congressional politics, and American political development. From the earliest days of the American republic, the size of the nation presented a challenge to the viability of the nascent government. Direct democracy was understood to be unworkable across an expansive territory, and no country had successfully established a representative republic on such a scale. While the United States was undoubtedly rich in natural resources, the economic promise of America’s physical geography simultaneously imperiled the young nation’s tenuous political stability. The Founders constructed the American Constitution to be “partly federal, and partly national” to allow representative government to thrive in a large, diverse place (Federalist 39).
