Answer: Pro: Jay Treaty, had an agreement that assuaged antagonisms between the United States and Great Britain, established a base upon which America could build a sound national economy, and assured its commercial prosperity.

Con: Jefferson, Madison, and other opponents feared the treaty gave too many concessions to the British. They argued that Jay's negotiations actually weakened American trade rights and complained that it committed the U.S. to pay pre-revolutionary debts to English merchants.
