Think about what washington said about political factions and alliances with other countries. should they be encouraged or avoided?

I would say this is a very interesting question lets discuss the benefits and drawbacks. Ok so he said a nation not united would fall. And it did during the american civil war. I would say being a strong nation you should encourage trade. For that making economic alliances is good. It boosts your economy and adds plenty of goods to. But they should be avoided if the country is divided like america was. Having the strongest economy is the key to being the strongest nation. 

Idon’t know the answer sorry
