Question

Explanation:

The Whiskey Rebellion was a protest against a federal excise tax on whiskey. When the rebels refused to comply, President Washington led an army to suppress it. This showed the federal government's power to enforce laws and keep order. The tax was not immediately repealed, the first political - parties predated the rebellion, and the government's action quelled rather than encouraged support for rebellion.

Answer:

A. The federal government demonstrated its ability to enforce laws and maintain order.
