Chapter 8 Section 3 The First Political Parties

Opposing views Washington did not escape criticism as President. Attacks came from supporters of Thomas Jefferson Many Americans viewed political parties of factions as harmful.

Political Parties Emerge By the mid-1790s two major political parties had emerged. Federalist-Madison, Adams & Hamilton Democratic Republicans-believed in limited government power. Thomas Jefferson, P. Henry, Mason

Federalist Rule by wealthy class Strong Federal government Emphasis on manufacturing Loose interpretation of the Constitution British alliance National Bank Protective Tariffs See page 269 Democratic- Republicans   Rule by the people   Strong state governments   Emphasis on agriculture   Strict interpretation of the Constitution   French alliance   State banks   Free trade

President John Adams 2 nd United States President Adams had to settle the ongoing dispute with France. He wanted to avoid war with them sent a delegation to try and settle the dispute. Charles de Talleyrand refused to meet with the U.S. Instead he sent 3 agents who wanted a loan and bribe for France. –Called the XYZ Affair

Undeclared War With France Congress responded to the XYZ Affair with a program to strengthen the armed forces. The US established a Navy Department and began building warships. Between 1798 & 1800 US and French naval vessels clashed several times. War was never formally declared. France is viewed as an enemy.

Alien and Sedition Acts Aliens- immigrants Sedition- refers to activities aimed at weakening established government Alien and Sedition Acts –Passed to protect the nation’s security

Domestic and Foreign Affairs The Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 & 1799 claimed that the Alien and Sedition Acts could not be put into action because they violated the Constitution. Kentucky Resolutions further suggested that the states may nullify them. Both resolutions affirmed the principle of states’ rights.

The election of 1800 was fast approaching and Federalist found themselves under attack. Adams refused to rush to war with France. In 1800 the French agreed to a treaty and stopped attacks on American ships. The way was prepared for Thomas Jefferson in the election of 1800.
