7 Help unite the country as well as improve the economy and the infant industry…. Because of the British blockade during the War of 1812, it was essential for internal transportation improvements.

8 The Panic of 1819 Largely the fault of the Second Bank of the United States’ tightening of credit in an effort to control inflation – Many state banks closed – The value of money fell – There were large increases in unemployment, bankruptcies, and imprisonment for debt Depression was most severe in the West The economic crisis changed many Western voters’ political outlook

10 10 JUDICIAL AUTHORITY Supreme Court has the power to declare a law unconstitutional with the principle of judicial review. NATIONALISM The National Government is over the states. PROPERTY RIGHTS Private property is sacred and contracts legal.

11 Marbury vs. Madison, 1803 – Case: William Marbury, a Federalist and a “midnight appointment” of President Adams, did not receive his commission from Sec. of State, James Madison. Marbury asked the SC to issue a “writ of mandamus” forcing Madison to deliver his commission. – Decision/Reason: Marshall dismissed suit, but in doing so struck down part of Judiciary Act of 1789 because SC had no authority to give Marbury his commission. – Significance: Established precedent of “judicial review” and the Supreme Court, not states had power to declare laws of Congress unconstitutional.

12 Prior to this case, the Supreme Court had been the weakest of the three branches of government. Earlier, the belief was the states could nullify a law 1803, the Supreme Court established its role as the final arbitrator (authority) of the meaning of the Constitution and its position of equality. By setting a precedent for judicial review or the Supreme Court can declare a law unconstitutional not the states or Congress. It also “sent the message” that the National Government is the last authority thus reinforcing Marshall’s belief in a strong central government over the states.

13 Fletcher v. Peck (1810) –C–Case: involved Georgia legislature, bribed, granted 35 million acres in the Yazoo River, Mississippi to private speculators. Next legislature cancelled transaction. Appealed to the Supreme Court. –D–Decision/Reason: SC concluded a state could not pass legislation invalidating a contract thus protecting property rights against popular pressures. State law cannot impair contracts violates Constitution –S–Significance: Overturned a state decision because the legislative grant was a contract and national govt. is over the states.

14 Shaping the Government Martin v. Hunter’s Lease (1816) – The Supreme Court established the principle that it had jurisdiction over state courts in cases involving constitutional rights

15 McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) – Case: The state of MD tried to collect a tax from the Second Bank of the United States – Decision/Reason: Using a loose interpretation of the Constitution, Marshall ruled that the federal government had the implied power to create the bank (which was in question) – Significance: A state could not tax a federal institution because “the power to tax is the power to destroy” and that federal laws are supreme over state laws

16 Cohens v. Virginia (1821) – Case: In VA, the Cohens were convicted of selling Washington, D.C. lottery tickets authorized by Congress – Decision/Reason: Marshall and the Court upheld the conviction. Case established the principle that the SC could review a state court’s decision involving any of the powers of the federal government – Significance: Solidified the belief that the Supreme Court has the last and final say in law.

17 Gibbons v. Ogden (1821) – Case: NY state granted a monopoly to a steamboat company that conflicted with a charter authorized by Congress – Decision/Reason: Marshall ruled NY monopoly was unconstitutional, establishing the federal govt’s broad control of interstate commerce. Congress regulates commerce. – Significance: The decision secures the concept of a common market and prevents states from impeding (disrupting) commerce.

18 JUDICIAL AUTHORITY Marbury vs. Madison NATIONALISM McCulloch vs. Maryland Gibbons vs. Ogden Cohens vs. Virginia PROPERTY RIGHTS Dartmouth College vs. Woodward Fletcher vs. Peck

19 Florida Becomes Part of US – After War of 1812, Spain had difficulty governing Florida – Seminole Indians, runaway slaves, and white outlaws conducted raids into U.S. territory and retreated to safety across the Florida border President Monroe commissioned General Andrew Jackson to stop the raiders – Jackson led a force into Florida, destroyed Seminole villages, and hanged 2 Seminole chiefs – Jackson captured Pensacola and drove out the Spanish governor

20 Adams-Onis Treaty (1818) – Spain turned over western Florida along with all to the east Claims in the Oregon Territory to the U.S. – US agreed to pay $5 million to Spain to give up any territorial claims to Texas

23 In foreign affairs Monroe proclaimed the fundamental policy that bears his name, Monroe Doctrine. Monroe was responding to the threat that Europe might try to aid Spain in winning back her former Latin American colonies. monroe doctrine Monroe and Secretary of State John Quincy Adams wanted to protect new “republics” in the Western Hemisphere. Great Britain, with its powerful navy, also opposed re- conquest of Latin America and suggested that the United States join in proclaiming "hands off."

24 Adams advised, "It would be more candid... to avow our principles explicitly to Russia and France, than to come in as a cock-boat in the wake of the British man-of-war." Monroe accepted Adams's advice. monroe doctrine Not only must Latin America be left alone, he warned, but also Russia must not encroach southward on the Pacific coast. "... the American continents," He stated, "by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European Power."
