The new national government established by the Constitution in 1789 was first led by the politics of the Federalist Party. Policies implemented under President George Washington (1732-1799; served 1789-97) reflected that party's belief in a strong central government. Led by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804), the Federalists used the government to cultivate a national economy dominated by commerce.
