Question

use the image to answer the following question. why were washington’s actions during the event shown here important for the country? (7.8.a) a) they illustrated why small farmers should not be making whiskey. b) they showed that the government had the power to enforce laws. c) they showed that washington was not concerned about small farmers. d) they stressed the importance of having a good transportation system.

Explanation:

The event depicted is likely the Whiskey Rebellion. Washington's response (sending troops) demonstrated the new federal government's ability to enforce laws, asserting its authority. Option A is incorrect as the rebellion was about tax resistance, not opposing small farmers making whiskey. Option D misinterprets his concern, and Option D's focus on transportation is irrelevant. So C is correct.

Answer:

C. They showed that the government had the power to enforce laws.
