6 2 Major Jefferson Headlines 1. Judicial Review Chief Justice John Marshall William Marbury 2. Louisiana Purchase Napoleon Toussaint-Louverture

7 “Midnight Judges” Adams appoints Federalist judges at the last minute! Secretary of State Madison refuses to send William Marbury his commission Marbury vs. Madison Chief Justice John Marshall

8 Result of Marbury v. Madison Judicial Review = Power to judge constitutionality of a law. Judicial becomes an equal Branch Legislative = Judicial =Executive

9 The irony is … The Marbury issue let Jefferson keep the Presidency … Nanny Boo Boo! Oh, stuff it, Tom. Jefferson Adams

10 The irony is … BUT, it made the Federal Government MUCH MUCH stronger! Hmm… This is NOT that simple! I told you so!

11 Meanwhile …

12 Back to the European struggle for World Power! Louisiana Territory

13 Spain Ceded Louisiana to France Napoleon wanted to develop his French Caribbean colonies. He wanted to use Louisiana to grow food for the island plantations.

14 Jefferson is Concerned Spain might give Napoleon Florida too! James Monroe and Robert Livingston sent to France to buy New Orleans. Uh-oh!

15 2 Things Help Us 1. England and France at war, again. 2. Toussiant-Louverture Haitian Revolution 40,000 French killed Napoleon Needs Money!

16 The Louisiana Purchase $15 M Less than 5 cents per acre Doubled the size of the United States Protected the Western Border New Orleans is safe!

17 1804-1806 Lewis & Clark Lasted 2 years and 4 months 8000 miles

18 Which of the 6 International issues did the Louisiana Purchase solve?

19 New Orleans and Spain

20 Pirates - More Tribute! Blockade Tripoli Harbor Stephen Decatur 1805 Peace Treaty No More Tribute Burning of the Philadelphia By Edward Moran

21 Chesapeake-Leopard Affair Challenges to Neutrality - 1807 France - England STILL at war Impressing sailors & seizing ships Chesapeake Leopard

22 Jefferson Tries Embargo 1807 NO American ships may leave port It hurts England a little Creates American economic disaster –150,000 people lost their jobs –Deflation = falling prices

23 Founding “Fathers” Kept US together Peaceful Transfer of Power Kept US at Peace with France, England and Spain Allowed US to grow: –Economically –Physically We were willing to fight for our interests
