Which of the following is not a characteristic of george washington

He favoured permanent alliance with foreign nations is the correct answer.

Explanation:

George Washington was American politician and one of the founding fathers of USA.He wanted that US should end alliances with other nations and must not form new alliances as it might be dangerous for the newly independent nation. His ideas were also reflected in the Monroe doctrine that also promised non interference in European Affairs as long as Europeans didn't abandon the idea of colonising the Latin American nations and South America. The first military alliance of US was in 1949 with the North Atlantic Treaty that formed NATO.

For Thomas Jefferson, independence was a much lower scale thing starting with the individual. Even though he supported a strong central government he believed that it should be a foreign policy thing and not a domestic policy thing and that self-sufficient citizens without the government meddling in their affairs were of the highest priority.

For Hamilton, independence was a cultural and a national thing. He believed that the government should meddle into lives of individual citizens in order to ensure that there is national unity and stability and that all citizens should unite for a goal of having a strong independent nation that could thrive because of heavy economic competition from foreigners.
