The right answer is D.

Explanation:

After much debate , President George Washington issued a Neutrality Proclamation on April 22, 1793. Though the American public opinion sympathized with France and its revolution and the defense of man´s freedom and rights, the United States was a newly-born state and it was too weak economically to get involved in a major war among European powers. Despite some differences, major figures such as Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton agreed with the president that neutrality was in the best interest of the U.S.
