2. why was the whiskey rebellion significant?
3. what did washington warn against in his farewell address?

Explanation:

1. For question 13:

• Jay's Treaty (1794): A U.S.-Britain agreement that resolved post-Revolutionary War disputes, including British withdrawal from western U.S. forts, and established trade rules.
• Pinckney's Treaty (1795): A U.S.-Spain treaty that set the southern U.S. border at the 31st parallel, granted U.S. access to the Mississippi River and New Orleans port, and improved diplomatic relations.
• Proclamation of Neutrality (1793): A U.S. policy announced by George Washington that declared the nation neutral in the war between Britain and France, avoiding early entanglement in European conflicts.

1. For question 14:

The Whiskey Rebellion (1794) was significant because it was the first major test of the U.S. federal government's authority to enforce its laws within state borders. The federal government's successful suppression of the rebellion (against farmers protesting a whiskey tax) demonstrated that the new federal system could maintain order, unlike the weak Articles of Confederation.

1. For question 15:

In his 1796 Farewell Address, George Washington warned against two key threats to the U.S.: the danger of permanent foreign alliances that could draw the nation into European conflicts, and the divisive impact of political parties on national unity. He also emphasized the importance of fiscal responsibility and preserving the nation's democratic values.
