Securing the Republic, the Market Revolution, and Democracy in America In Securing the Republic, the American people believed that freedom had to have a distinct individual, a genius or a mastermind in place. So on April 30, 1789, in New York City, they select their first president and the enormous crowd was over excited. George Washington received sixty-nine elector votes to become the first president of the United States on that day. He was sworn into office on the balcony of Federal Hall. Under the new Constitution, the freest people had chosen their first president. President George Washington’s inaugural speech addressed the revolutionary

The first confrontation came between 1790 and 1791, when Treasury Hamilton devises a plan to stabilize government financially; he wanted to make the United States into a major powerhouse in commercial and military. His plan was five-fold, with the first step being credit-worthiness, which would be a lending and repayment system; second step would include a new national debt based on interest-bearing accounts; third step addressed the creation of the Bank of the United States, which would lend money to the nation’s government; fourth step would be to raise revenue through taxes whiskey producers, and the last step was to imposes taxes upon manufactures for imported foreign goods and government subsidies (Fonder, 284).

Native Americans still worked to become republican citizens, and the Cherokee tribes establish schools, adapted written laws and also established a constitution on the basis of the United States model. They were still called savages, while Georgia tried to take their land, as well as, to get rid of their laws. The Native Americans even became successful farmers, and owned their own slaves. The Native Americans fought court cases with no real mercy, like the court case of 1823, Johnson verses M’Intosh. The true is that the judge had some interest in the western land, which were claimed by earlier colonial era. The case did not go in their favor, so they were informed that they were not land owners, and they only had the right to occupancy. At the same time, they were also informed that they were living on land as nomads and hunters, but not as farmers (Fonder, 386). None of the historical records were accurate, and this case cause the Native Americans some serious blows against them in maintaining or even retaining their
