One of these things partly named for Lancaster was designed by John Loudon McAdam and was unusually built by a private company due to Pennsylvania being broke. These things are the first suggestions in the title of a 1808 report calling for 20 million dollars of funding, written by Albert Gallatin. The Jeffersonian belief that the Postal Clause only gave Congress power to designate, not build, these things informed Madison’s veto of the Bonus Bill and Andrew Jackson’s veto of one of these things for Maysville. Some modern ones of these projects lay over older “traces” like one named for the Natchez. A “National” one of these projects began at Cumberland, Maryland. For 10 points, name these projects that allowed for travel between cities via wagons. ■END■
ANSWER: roads [or highways; accept National Road or Maysville Road; accept toll roads or post roads or turnpikes; accept traces until read; reject “railroads”]
