• The election of George Washington to second term as president

• The establishment of the First Bank of the United States

• The attack on the Port of Tripoli in North Africa

The first political parties in the United States formed mainly in response to disagreements over-

• the doctrine of judicial review

• territorial expansion to the west

• the extent of federal power

Disagreements between these two cabinet members led to-

• the creation of reservations for American Indians

• a struggle to ratify the Bill of Rights

• the establishment of the first U.S. political parties

• a compromise over slavery in western territories

The Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans emerged as separate political parties partly as a result of disagreement over-

• whether to enforce the Monroe Doctrine

• how the nation should admit new states

• whether to approve the Declaration of Independence

The first political parties in the United States were established in the 1790s largely because of political differences between-
