Read the excerpt from “George Washington.” He did not infringe upon the policy making powers that he felt the Constitution gave Congress. But the determination of foreign policy became preponderantly a Presidential concern. When the French Revolution led to a major war between France and England, Washington refused to accept entirely the recommendations of either his Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, who was pro-French, or his Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, who was pro-British. Rather, he insisted upon a neutral course until the United States could grow stronger. Which detail is most relevant to the central idea in this excerpt? Washington did not entirely accept the foreign policy recommendations of Jefferson or Hamilton. Washington did not interfere with the policy making powers that the Constitution gave Congress. Washington’s secretary of state sided with France during the war between France and England. Alexander Hamilton was Washington’s secretary of the treasury during his presidency.
