Do Now: LEVEL 0: Spend 5 minutes reviewing section 10.1 (look over the 3 questions, identifies, and definition at the top of 266); those of you that haven’t completed 10.1 do so now! Today, I will be able to explain how Jefferson reduced the role of the federal government during his first term. I will also be able to explain the importance of the Marbury v. Madison ruling. Turn in chapter 9 assignments (9.1, 9.3, 9.4 and poster) Check your current grade, (if you don’t like your grade: turn in the assignments, study, and ask for help…not during current class time).
Do Now: 1.Who won the Election? 2.Why are the results confusing? 3.Which states split their votes? 4.Where was Adams’ main support; where was Jefferson’s main support? 5. What group finally selects the President? 6. How was the 12 th Amendment suppose to fix this issue?
People should have political power Strong state government (KY and VA Resolution) Emphasis on agrarian based economy Strict interpretation of the Constitution. Main foreign ally should be France Opposed national bank (unconstitutional, 10 th Amendment). Opposed protective tariffs (hurt southerners and farmers, artificially drove up the cost of goods).
1. Not to seek political retribution 2. Reduce the size of government 3. Laissez faire economics

Pardoned those jailed by the Sedition Act Restored immigration standards to 5 years Kept the Bank of the U.S. Feds continued to pay off state debt
Federal courts had little Constitutional power. Adams will appoint Sec. of State John Marshall (federalists), Supreme Court Chief Justice. Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment, can be removed through impeachment. *11 federal judges have been impeached in 200+ years* Marshall will rule that the Judiciary Act is unconstitutional, thus giving the court the power of “judicial review” Marbury v Madison Marbury v Madison
