Detailed explanation-1: -The French were infuriated by Jay’s Treaty, believing it violated earlier treaties between the United States and France; as a result, they went on to seize a substantial number of American merchant ships.
Detailed explanation-2: -France, then at war with England, interpreted the treaty as a violation of its own commercial treaty of 1778 with the U.S. This resentment led to French maritime attacks on the U.S. and between 1798 and 1800 to an undeclared naval war.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did the French respond to the treaty? Section 3-#1 In the Jay Treaty, the British agreed to pull their troops from the Ohio Valley. The French viewed the Jay Treaty as a violation of its own treaty with the United States and began to attack U.S. ships.
Detailed explanation-4: -The reaction to Jay’s Treaty was severe. Democratic-Republicans cried foul, arguing that the pro-British Federalists had caved to the British and undermined American sovereignty.
