2. The Election of 1800 -Neither candidate traveled around the country for support -Campaigning consisted of people writing letters -Each side used personal attacks -Adams called Jefferson “godless” -Jefferson said Adams wanted a monarchy

3. TIE VOTE -Electors were told to cast two ballots (didn’t say which candidate was president and which was vice). -Burr and Jefferson tied at 73 votes -Tie vote means the House of Representatives decides who is the next president. -Federalists supported Burr because they hated Jefferson. -The House voted 35 times until the tie was broke and Jefferson won! Deal With It

5. Judiciary Act of 1801 -Days before Jefferson became president, Adams appointed hundreds of federalist judges to positions -How would this impact the judicial system? -Before the appointments became official, the judges needed to receive their papers called commissions -Jefferson told his secretary of state not to deliver them. -Led to Supreme Court case called Marbury v. Madison

Madison -One judge who did not receive his commision was William Marbury -Marbury asked the Supreme Court to force Madison to deliver his commission -John Marshall (who was appointed by Adams) presided over the case as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court -Court said that the Judiciary Act was unconstitutional -This case gave the Supreme Court the power of judicial review

7. John Marshall as Chief Justice -Federalist -Expanded federal government -Key cases 1)McColloch v. Maryland - State gov’t can’t tax federal gov’t 2)Gibbons v. Ogden - Federal law overrides state law when it affects multiple states 3)Worcester v. Georgia - Only federal government can regulate Native Americans
