 * - The Federalist Era was the first time period in which the US was governed under both its own sovereignty and the US Constitution. Under Washington's two terms in office, the US made several key decisions about foreign countries that would greatly affect our role in future foreign affairs. Washington issues the Proclamation of Neutrality, steered clear of getting involved in France's revolution, and signs three significant treaties with Britain, Spain, and the Native groups in the northwest. Indeed, President Washington set many precedents for future leaders of the US on how to handle international relations.**
