To determine the years during which the "Critical Period" took place, we need to understand its historical context. The "Critical Period" refers to the time immediately following the American Revolutionary War, when the newly formed United States faced numerous challenges, including political and economic instability.
To find the specific years, we can eliminate options w and x since they both mention George Washington. He served as the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1797, which was after the Critical Period. Therefore, the correct answer is y: None of these answers are correct.
The "Critical Period" occurred between the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783 and the ratification of the United States Constitution in 1788. During this time, the nation struggled with economic problems, weak central government under the Articles of Confederation, and the need to establish a stronger federal system.
