The correct answer is D) the agrarian states of Maryland and Virginia.

In order to get his financial program through Congress in 1790, Alexander Hamilton made a deal with James Madison and Thomas Jefferson to locate the nation's capital to the agrarian states of Maryland and Virginia.

We are referring to the Residence Act, signed on July 16, 1790. The change of the capital to Washington was due to negotiation between anti-federalistThomas Jefferson and federalist Alexander Hamilton. The agreement was to move the capital of the United States to a rural area uninhabited in a region of Maryland and Virginia. The negotiation was also approved by James Madison.
