Answer:

ok here ya go

Step-by-step explanation:

1. it put President Washington in a difficult position because the French helped Americans win the Revolutionary War, but the United States was dependent on trade with Britain, which provided nearly 90 percent of what America needed to survive.

2. they talked about a 'British Constitution', and decided to set aside their differences and let Washington lead in the war.

3. it resolved territorial disputes, granted American ships the right to free navigation of the Mississippi River, as well as duty-free transport through the port of New Orleans.
