Democratic - Republican Opposition
The Democratic - Republicans tried a lot of things to stop the Jay Treaty. Some of it was personal towards President Washington. The House of Representatives tried to hold back the money needed for the treaty. This amount was $90,000. The Democratic - Republicans in the House of Representatives stopped recognizing President Washington’s birthday. But, their big attempt to stop the Jay Treaty was when the House of Representatives requested all paperwork related to the Jay Treaty.
