d. hamilton gained support for his plan for new taxes.

Explanation:

The Whiskey Rebellion was a tax protest in the United States. President George Washington led a militia to suppress the rebellion. This action demonstrated that the federal government, under the president, would enforce federal laws.

• Option A: The Whiskey Rebellion had no relation to Washington's decision on the capital city.
• Option B: Hamilton's plan for the National Bank was not affected by the Whiskey Rebellion.
• Option D: The rebellion was against a tax (the whiskey tax), so it did not gain support for new taxes.

Answer:

C. Washington showed that he would enforce federal law as president.
