THE
NEW
GOVERNMENT
IN
OPERATION
(1789-
1816)
What
do
you
know
about
America’s
New
Government?
After
the
signing
of
the
Constitution,
the
leaders
and
citizens
of
the
United
States
had
many
goals
and
aspirations
for
the
growth
of
the
nation.
One
type
of
growth
was
the
interest
in
expanding
the
existing
boundaries
of
the
new
country.
The
first
of
these
initiatives
was
the
Louisiana
Purchase,
under
President
Thomas
Jefferson.
Explorers
began
to
search
for
new,
undiscovered
lands
in
and
beyond
the
United
States.
Meriwether
Lewis
and
William
Clark
were
two
such
explorers,
and
their
journey
across
the
continent
provided
much
information
regarding
the
land
beyond
its
borders.

Meanwhile,
the
United
States
government
was
facing
problems
in
other
areas.
Tension
began
to
grow
with
the
Native
Americans
and
with
the
British,
who
continued
to
explore
the
continent
outside
the
new
country’s
boundaries.
The
War
of
1812
was
fought
for
a
number
of
reasons,
one
being
the
fact
that
England
was
having
a
direct
impact
on
the
effort
to
expand
America
by
taking
Native
American
land.
This,
in
combination
with
trade
issues,
was
enough
reason
for
the
United
States
to
declare
war.
The
Monroe
Doctrine
guaranteed
that
Britain
would
stay
out
of
American
engagements
in
the
future.
Although
the
new
government
was
off
to
a
shaky
start
with
these
conflicts,
the
leaders
had
confidence
in
their
new
gains.
