The Federalist Party was the largest early party, which supported a large government, national bank, and political consolidation. The Democratic-Republican party was a close second, and was pro-States, and agriculturally based. This ticket was nominated by Benjamin Franklin, who saw it as a recipe of an American unity. The entire ticket would be re-elected. John Adams introduced the postal system, and commissioned James Monroe to explore the coast of the West. George Washington also helped Germany form a government. A smaller bank, with a standardized front and state-made back, is introduced. A 12 square mile Federal District was planned in southern Maryland and northern Virginia. A massive military, originally in Hamilton's hands, but Edmond Randolph would override this, giving it to Henry Knox in //Knox v. Congress of the United States//.

A few knew states, commonwealths, and territories. Louisiana Territory was renamed the Arkansas Territory.
