  • Der Residence Act of 1790, offiziell An Act for Establishing the Temporary and Permanent Seat of the Government of the United States, ist ein US-amerikanisches Bundesgesetz, das die Frage der Hauptstadt der Vereinigten Staaten regelte, indem es eine Fläche am Ufer des Potomac River dafür bestimmte. Die Bundesregierung befand sich zu der Zeit, als das Gesetz durchgesetzt wurde, in New York City und zuvor in Philadelphia sowie mehreren anderen Städten. Der Residence Act durchlief den Kongress als Teil eines Kompromisses, den James Madison, Thomas Jefferson und Alexander Hamilton ausgehandelt hatten. Madison und Jefferson favorisierten einen südlicheren Bereich am Potomac River für die Hauptstadt, hatten hierfür aber keine Mehrheit im Kongress. Zu der Zeit wollte Hamilton die Assumption Bill im Senat durchsetzen. Dabei handelte es sich um ein Gesetz, das der Bundesregierung erlaubte, die Schulden von Bundesstaaten zu übernehmen, die diese im Unabhängigkeitskrieg gemacht hatten. Mit dem Kompromiss konnte Hamilton die Zustimmung der Delegierten des Staates New York zur Auswahl des Geländes am Potomac zusichern, während die Delegierten aus Virginia für die Assumption Bill stimmten. Der Residence Act ermächtigte Präsident George Washington, den genauen Standort für die Hauptstadt festzulegen, und bestimmte den Dezember 1800 als Termin für die Fertigstellung der Hauptstadt. Philadelphia wurde für die Zwischenzeit zur vorübergehenden Hauptstadt gewählt. Washington hatte die Befugnis, Bevollmächtigte zu bestimmen und den Bau der Regierungsgebäude in Washington, D.C., was er mit großer Aufmerksamkeit tat. Thomas Jefferson war ein wichtiger Berater für Washington und half bei der Organisation eines Architektenwettbewerbs für die Gestaltung des Kapitols und des Hauses des Präsidenten. Der Bau des Kapitols war mit Problemen belastet, wie beispielsweise einer unzureichenden Finanzierung. Das Kapitol war nur teilweise fertiggestellt, als sich der Kongress dort das erste Mal am 17. November 1800 versammelte. (de)

At the time, the federal government was operating out of New York City. Congress passed the Residence Act as part of the Compromise of 1790 brokered among James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton. Madison and Jefferson favored a southerly site for the capital on the Potomac River, but they lacked a majority to pass the measure through Congress. Meanwhile, Hamilton was pushing for Congress to pass the Assumption Bill, to allow the Federal government to assume debts accumulated by the states during the American Revolutionary War. With the compromise, Hamilton was able to muster support from the New York State congressional delegation for the Potomac site, while four delegates (all from districts bordering the Potomac) switched from opposition to support for the Assumption Bill.

  • Il Residence Act del 1790, ufficialmente intitolato Atto per stabilire la sede temporanea e permanente del governo degli Stati Uniti, è uno statuto federale degli Stati Uniti, adottato durante la seconda sessione del Primo Congresso degli Stati Uniti, divenuto legge per firma del presidente George Washington, il 16 luglio 1790. La legge prevedeva l'istituzione di una capitale nazionale e di una sede permanente del governo in un sito lungo il fiume Potomac, conferendo al presidente Washington il potere di nominare commissari per la supervisione del progetto. Inoltre, con la legge si stabiliva la scadenza del dicembre 1800 per la preparazione della nuova sede del governo, designando Filadelfia come capitale temporanea della nazione fino alla costruzione della nuova. Al momento della legge, il governo federale aveva invece sede a New York. Il Congresso approvò il Residence Act come parte del Compromesso del 1790 raggiunto tra James Madison, Thomas Jefferson e Alexander Hamilton. Madison e Jefferson ambivano ad avere la capitale in un luogo a sud di New York, sul fiume Potomac, ma non disponevano di una maggioranza sufficiente per far approvare la misura. Allo stesso modo, Hamilton intendeva spingere il Congresso ad emanare l'Assumption Bill, che avrebbe permesso al governo federale di assumere i debiti accumulati dagli stati durante la guerra d'indipendenza. Con il compromesso, Hamilton raccolse il sostegno della delegazione dello Stato di New York per il trasferimento della capitale lungo il Potomac, mentre quattro delegati (tutti dei distretti confinanti con il fiume) passarono dall'opposizione al supporto dell'Assumption Bill.
