Evaluate the extent of change in United States foreign policy in the period 1783 to 1828.
This is a DBQ essay and I have no clue on what to write or how to write it. PLEASE HELP!!!

There was no change during the first 50 years of the state.

Explanation:

In these years diplomats were guided by the idea that the U.S. should observe political isolation from European powers during peacetime and maintain neutrality during wartime.

Quotes:

Benjamin Franklin: ¨A virgin state should preserve its virgin character and not go suitoring for alliances.´

George Washington: ¨The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is to have with them as little political connection as possible.¨

Thomas Jefferson: ¨Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliance with none.¨

In writing your essay you might point out the negative example of the European history, shattered by short-lived alliances, regional, national and international conflicts that set the tone during 2000 years.

for the 2 countries u can do china and america because america has a democratic government while china has a communist government.

a democracy is a government run by the people either by directly voting or indirectly by electing representatives. an oligarchy is a government run by a few or a small group of people. a democracy and oligarchy are similar because both in an oligarchy and an indirect democracy, a small group of induvial determine the laws for a large group of people they are different because in an oligarchy it is easier to control and they do not have to answer to a large number of people in the country, unlike a democracy where they do have to answer to a large number of people an county that is a democracy would be the united states. a country that is an oligarchy would be the china.
