1. Revolution of Presidential election of 1800 involved Democratic-Repub-
1800 (Chapter 7, lican Thomas Jefferson against Federalist John Adams.
p. 276, p. 312) The election of 1800 was fiercely contested and extremely
acrimonious. Facilitated the spread of bitter partisanship,
and ushered in the demise of the Federalist party and a po-
litical realignment that effectively ended the first-party sys-
tem. At the same time, it was the first peaceful transfer of
power from one political party to another. Despite the hos-
tility, Federalist John Adams bequeathed the presidency to
his greatest political foe and rival, Democratic-Republican
Thomas Jefferson. This demonstrated and strengthened
the viability of the American democratic system.
2. Marbury v. Madi- William Marbury, one of John Adam's "Midnight Ap-
son and the Mar- pointees", had been named a justice of the peace in the
shall Court 1803 District of Columbia, but his commission had not been
(Chapter 7, p. delivered to him before Adams left office even though it
279, p. 312) was signed and sealed. James Madison, the secretary
of state under Thomas Jefferson, refused to deliver his
commission. Article III, section 1 of the constitution stated
judges shall receive compensation for services that shall
not be diminished during their continuance in office. The
case was brought to the Supreme Court. Marbury did not
receive the commission he was promised by Adams and
was entitled to by the constitution. Marbury applied to the
Court in order to direct Madison to perform his official
duty. Ruling/Impact: The Court ruled that Marbury had the
right to his commission, but the court had no power to
give a writ of Mandamus to get a commission. The Court
also ruled the Judiciary act of 1789 unconstitutional. This
case established the Judiciary branch as co-equal to the
other two branches and established the process of judicial
review. Under this process, judges look at laws and review
them to see if they are constitutional or not.

constructionism United States' security. He could tolerate a weak
and the Spain-controlling territory west of the Mississippi River

Louisiana to acquire the strategic port of New Orleans. By 1803,
Territory Napoleon agreed to sell Louisiana Territory for $15 million
(Chapter 7, p. to help finance his next war with Great Britain. Earlier, his
283-285) army in Haiti had been decimated by epidemics. Jefferson
adhered to a strict interpretation of the Constitution and
believed that without a specific enumeration of his right as
president to acquire the purchase, buying the Louisiana
Territory could be unconstitutional. The Federalists op-
posed the purchase for several reasons, chief among
them the likelihood that new slave states would enter the
Union from the southern parts of the territory. Jefferson
still agreed to the deal, which almost doubled US territory.
4. War of Cause of War of 1812. President James Madison declared
1812—Cause and war against Great Britain over the issue of neutral shipping
Effect (Chapter 7, rights and the fear that the British were inciting Native

) took sides in the war. Earlier, at the Battle of Tippecanoe
(1811), US troops had defeated elements of Tecumseh's
Indian Confederacy and an alliance of Indian nations de-
termined to protect their ancestral lands. At the Battle of
the Thames, Tecumseh was killed and the confederacy
ended. Effect of War of 1812. The Treaty of Ghent (1814)
ended the war by essentially declaring it a draw. A smash-
ing American victory in January 1815 at the Battle of New
Orleans helped to ensure that the treaty would be ratified
and enforced. The conflict established the economic inde-
pendence of the United States, as many goods previously
purchased from Britain were now manufactured at home.
During and after the war, Federalists and Republicans
seemed to exchange roles. Delegates from the waning
federalist party met at the Hartford Convention to defend
states' rights and threaten secession while republicans
promoted nationalism and a broad interpretation of the
Constitution.
