 * How they dealt with domestic issues: **

 There were many differences between how the presidents dealt with domestic issues. One way was during John Adams presidency who liked to deal with things by being kind but also being harsh because he was nice and let immagrants have a longer period of time to become a US citizen. However, he was also being very harsh because he said that he would depart any immagrants that were a threat. Then he would throw anyone in jail who said mean things about government officials. I think that is just a little too much. But that’s not that harsh because if you look at Andrew Jackson he kept firing treasury people until they did what he wanted. Which I don’t think he should have the total right to fire someone from a job just because they don’t want to do something that is wrong. Then I feel James Monroe was one of the better ones at handling domestic issues because when Missouri wanted to join the country he made sure that it stayed equal for the south and the north so he made Maine join as a free state that way the south wouldn’t have too much power and the north wouldn’t have too much power. So as you can see, there were many differences between how the presidents dealt with domestic issues.

**How they dealt with foreign issues: **

 To begin with, there were many differences between the first 7 presidents over the years in how they handles foreign policies. One way was with George Washington and his policy of Neutrality/Isolationism. Which was basically during the French Revolution when the French and the British were at war George washington decided that he would become neutral and help them equally but they kept attacking each other’s supplies. He then decidided to do total isolationism which he didn’t help any of them at all. While Thomas Jefferson liked to do things Quick and be tough if had to. So for exmple with the barbary pirates who were destroying are ships Thomas Jefferson didn’t want to pay them anymore so he sent ships to attack them so they could trade goods freely which they did win. While James Madison is a calm sort of dude like he was in the war of 1812. When the British were Unfair and got the native Amercans too help and they gave them guns and then burnt are capitol down. But Madison never lost his cool and was able to make a plan to help them come back to win the war. So as you can see, are presidents might have been friends and all but they handles things very differently.

**Ranking the presidents: **

 In my opinion, I think the best president would have to be George Washington because when he dealt with things he kept his cool and was not harsh on the people. That is how he won the people’s votes and he had the chance to serve three terms when no one else did but he turned it down. Then at number two I think it would be James Madison because when he was in the war of 1812 and the British destroyed the capital he kept his cool and was able to win the war to save the US. If he wasn’t there the US would have been destroyed. Then third would have to be James Monroe because he thought of the ever so briliant Missouri compromise and made sure it hapened so there was no fude between the South and the North because one had more power then the other. Then in Fourth place would be Jefferson because he was a strict constitunionalist and then went against the constitution which bumped him down but he also made alot of smart descions like the Louisiana purchase so that is why he is in fourth place. Then in fifth place would be John Quincy Adams because he is not one of the better’s because all thought he made good descions he was alot like Jackson because when Jackson was saying bad things about him Adams fought right back and said things and he only served one term because of it. In sixth place would be JOhn Adams because he made the Descision of doing the XYZ affair which noone liked because they were getting rid of their money so even though it was the best descision there was to save the US it still wasn’t what would have made him win the election. In last I would vote on ANdrew Jackson because I know he cared about the poor but he also cared about himself too much and was willing to fire anybody that got in his way. Which know president should do that and they should care about all the people. That is how I would rank the first seven presidents of the United States.

**How the U.S. evolved overtime:** media type="custom" key="16183146"  As you can see, the U.S changed greatly between the first seven presidencies it went from 11 states to 26 because althought there were originally 13 collinies, Rhode Island and North Carolina didn’t join till after George washington was president. But other things changed too because new laws were created like the Missouri comprimise. Then the original states would get bigger. But also new things were built like factories and more slaves were brought in because there was more land. That is how the United states changed overtime including the timeline I made.
