CHAPTER 10 – THE JEFFERSON ERA Section 1 – Jefferson Takes Office Today we will analyze Jefferson’s election and discuss the importance of Marbury v. Madison.

Vocabulary analyze – examine carefully and in detail radical – person who holds extreme political views inaugural – referring to the beginning of something, especially a presidency

What We Already Know At the beginning of the nation’s history, the man receiving the second highest number of votes became vice president.

What We Already Know John Adams won the presidency in 1796, with his close personal friend (but political enemy) Thomas Jefferson serving as his vice president.

What We Already Know John Adams’ unwillingness to go to war with France had made him unpopular with his own Federalist supporters.

The Election of 1800 President John Adams of the Federalists faced the Democratic-Republicans, represented by Thomas Jefferson. The Democratic-Republicans thought they were saving the nation from monarchy and oppression. They believed that the Alien and Sedition Acts violated the Bill of Rights.

The Election of 1800 Federalists thought they were saving the nation from radicals—people who hold extreme political views. They remembered the violence of the French Revolution, in which radicals executed thousands in the name of liberty.

Check for Understanding B ask A: What is a radical? A radical is a person who holds extreme political views.

The Election of 1800 When election day came, Jefferson received 73 votes in the electoral college, and Adams earned 65. But Aaron Burr, whom the Democratic-Republicans wanted as vice president, also received 73 votes. According to the Constitution, the House of Representatives would have to choose between Burr and Jefferson.

Breaking the Tie Federalists still held a majority in the House of Representatives, and their votes would decide the winner. Some Federalists feared Jefferson so much that they decided to back Burr. Hamilton considered Burr an unreliable man and urged the election of Jefferson.

Jefferson’s Philosophy In his inaugural address, the new president tried to ease the nation’s political quarrels. “Let us, then, fellow-citizens, unite with one heart and one mind. . . . Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. . . . We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists.”

Jefferson’s Philosophy Jefferson wanted the United States to remain a nation of small independent farmers, who would uphold the strong morals and democratic values that he associated with country living. He hoped that the enormous amount of available land would prevent Americans from crowding into cities, as people had in Europe.

Jefferson’s Philosophy As president, Jefferson behaved more like a gentleman farmer than a privileged politician. Instead of riding in a fancy carriage to his inauguration, Jefferson walked the two blocks from his boarding house to the Capitol. He often answered the door himself, usually without a wig and in his dressing gown.

Undoing Federalist Programs Jefferson ended many Federalist programs. He directed Congress to allow the Alien and Sedition Acts to end. Congress also ended many taxes, including the unpopular whiskey tax. With less tax revenue, Jefferson reduced the number of federal employees to cut costs, and he also cut the size of the military.

Undoing Federalist Programs Hamilton had believed that people who were owed money by their government would make sure the government was run properly. But Jefferson opposed public debt and used revenues from tariffs and land sales to reduce the amount of money owed by the government.

Marshall and the Judiciary Under the Judiciary Act of 1801, President Adams had appointed as many Federalist judges as he could before Jefferson’s inauguration in 1801. These ‘midnight judges’ would create a firmly Federalist judiciary that could check the power of Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans. Jefferson would have very little power or influence over the courts. Adams also appointed John Marshall as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Marshall and the Judiciary Marshall served as Chief Justice for over three decades. Under Marshall, the Supreme Court upheld federal authority and strengthened federal courts.

Marbury v. Madison William Marbury was one of Adams’s last-minute appointments. When Secretary of State James Madison refused to give him the job, Marbury sued.

Marbury v. Madison John Marshall ruled that the law under which Marbury sued was unconstitutional. This decision established the principle of judicial review. This principle states that the Supreme Court has the final say in interpreting the Constitution. By establishing judicial review, Marshall helped to create a lasting balance among the three branches of government.
