They expected the government to protect them and keep the economy stable.

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT one of the high expectations Americans had for the new nation under Washington is: They wanted higher taxes for farmers and the working class.

In general, Americans were more focused on lower taxes and financial stability, rather than imposing higher taxes on farmers and the working class. The other options reflect their hopes for unity, improved trade, and government protection.
