Jefferson
Aaron Burr - 73 Votes
The House of Representatives had to break the tie. They voted for Jefferson to be President and Burr to be Vice President.

Jefferson was the first President to be inaugurated in Washington, D.C., the new capital.

The President rode to the inauguration in a fancy carriage.
People bowed to the President.
In his inaugural address, Jefferson urged all Americans to unite.

10. Jefferson thought of his election as the “Revolution of 1800.”
Jefferson vowed to change many of the policies of George Washington and John Adams.
His first goal was to limit the power of the federal government.
He believed in the idea of laissez faire, from the French term for “let alone.”

11. Jefferson created new Republican policies and kept some existing Federalist policies.

12. Jefferson also targeted the Sedition Act, which he had long opposed.
Many people had been convicted and fined under the act.
Others had been imprisoned.

Adams had appointed Marbury and other judges in his last hours as President.
When Jefferson took office, he ordered Secretary of State James Madison to cease work on the appointments.

14. Jefferson’s decision led to the landmark Supreme Court case, Marbury v
Jefferson’s decision led to the landmark Supreme Court case, Marbury v. Madison.
William Marbury sued James Madison.
This act gave the Supreme Court the power to review any case against a federal official.
Marbury cited the Judiciary Act of 1789.

15. In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court ruled that the Judiciary Act was unconstitutional.
Under the Judiciary Act, the Supreme Court’s power came from Congress.
The ruling stated that the Court’s power came from the Constitution, not Congress.
Supreme Court
Congress
Constitution
Therefore, Congress did not have the right to give power to the Supreme Court in the Judiciary Act.

16. Unconstitutional laws
Chief Justice John Marshall used this case to establish the principle of judicial review.
This gives the Supreme Court the authority to strike down unconstitutional laws.
Unconstitutional laws
Judicial review remains one of the most important powers of the Supreme Court.
