Answers
• Alexander Hamilton, not Thomas Jefferson, proposed the National Bank
• George Washington was the chief executive, John Jay was chief supreme court justice
• Thomas Jefferson resigned from secretary in state because of several events, including the National Bank.
• Article one, Section 8 states all the powers of congress and that it can give itself any power it deems “necessary and proper”
![Page 19: Alex New Nation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062615/547bc13eb4af9f25178b4728/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The neutrality proclamation stated that… (choose 2)
1•If you give certain materials to any side, you will be punished
2•Britain will stop all impressments
3•If you get caught helping other nations, the only right you have is to fair trial, and you may not receive it

1 and 3 are correct
Britain did not decide to stop impressments until John Jay worked out Jay’s treaty, and
that did not completely end the impressments.
