Explanation:

The American Revolution (1775 - 1783) involved significant military campaigns, mobilization of resources, and establishment of a new nation. Financing the war efforts (such as paying soldiers, purchasing weapons and supplies) led to substantial debt. Forming the executive branch and Congress were part of establishing the new government structure and not the main cause of the debt. Trading with Great Britain was more of an economic activity post - revolution and not a major factor in the heavy debt in 1790.

Answer:

paying for the American Revolution.
