1. The Jefferson Era

2. Election of 1800
Federalists nominate Adams again; Republicans nominate Adams’ VP, Thomas Jefferson
For the first time, political parties really begin attacking each other in their campaigns
Adams is portrayed by Republicans as a monarchist who wants to set himself up as king
Jefferson is portrayed a pro-revolution radical set on destroying the national government

3. Jefferson and Aaron Burr both receive 73 electoral votes
Adams gets only 65 votes
The tie creates a BIG problem: Who would be President?

4. House of Representatives votes on who will be the next President
After 36 different votes, Jefferson finally wins the vote and becomes President
Burr becomes VP

5. Jefferson Wins Out
The House of Rep. is forced to vote to decide the winner
After 36 votes, Jefferson finally wins and becomes the 3rd U.S. president; Burr is VP and NOT happy
Leads to the 12th Amendment which makes separate ballots for the President and VP

6. Jefferson’s Inauguration
Jefferson was less formal than Washington and Adams
Walked to the new Capitol building to give his first speech; didn’t think the leader of a republic should ride in a fancy carriage
Jefferson was excited about the construction of the new capital city
Free from any state influence

7. The White House Then and Now

8. Jefferson in Office
As leader of the new Democratic-Republican party, Jefferson had many things to accomplish
First, he hand-picked his cabinet, including future president James Madison

9. Jefferson also wanted to limit the role of the national government
Let the Alien & Sedition Acts expire
Cut the size of the American military; would use the extra money to pay off national debt
Searched for ways to get rid of domestic taxes, like the one on whiskey

Although he once fought against it, he was later convinced to leave it alone because it raised a lot of money for the government

16. Little review Who beat John Adams in the election of 1800?
Why did Adams lose the election of 1800?

17. First Major Court Case Marbury v. Madison
Federalists still dominated the Judicial branch
The night before leaving office, Adams created several new federal “judgeships” and appointed Federalists to these new positions
However, because they happened so late, many of them were never properly delivered to Congress in time

18. What happened next. . .
William Marbury was supposed to receive one of these positions, but Jefferson would not approve Adams’ “midnight judges”
Marbury asked the Supreme Court to help out, which was headed by a Federalist chief justice named John Marshall

19. Jefferson believed that the Federalist Marshall would agree with Marbury
But he actually ruled that the Supreme Court did not have the authority to change Jefferson’s decision; ruled the “midnight judges” were unconstitutional
Established the Supreme Court’s power of judicial review (can declare laws unconstitutional)

24. Reader’s Theater

25. The Louisiana Purchase

26. By the early 1800s, Spain was growing tired of trying to maintain the large territory of Louisiana

27. In 1802, Spain secretly traded the land over to France
Napoleon, France’s emperor, wanted to use it to control all of North America
France was at war with Britain; Napoleon had already conquered much of Europe

28. Before trading LA, Spain once again closed the NOLA port to the U.S.
Jefferson sends James Monroe to buy only the port of New Orleans from France
Napoleon needs money for war, so he sells the whole territory for $15 million

29. Jefferson wasn’t happy at first
Strict constructionist; Constitution said nothing about buying new lands
Agrees, however, that it is a good thing in the end; doubles the size of America

30. Gotta Scope It Out. . .

31. Lewis & Clark Expedition
Nobody really knew what was in the new Louisiana Territory
Jefferson hires Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to check it out

Never find the Pacific Ocean though

33. The Coming of War
Britain & France both began violating America’s neutrality
Began stealing supplies off American trade ships
The British began forcing some American sailors to serve in the British navy (impressment)

34. The U.S. responds by passing the Embargo Act
Embargo – The banning of trade
The U.S. basically stopped all trade with everyone; didn’t work

35. The Embargo Act hurt the U. S
The Embargo Act hurt the U.S. more than it helped; trashed it and then passed another embargo against France & Britain
Had the same effect basically; not very good
