    George Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the United States in 1789, establishing the precedent for peaceful transfers of power that has endured. Alexander Hamilton proposed a three-part financial plan to pay off the country's debt, create the National Bank, and institute a high tariff, though it was controversial and faced opposition. The Whiskey Rebellion broke out as farmers protested Hamilton's tax on whiskey.
