A. “Revolution of 1800” An Orderly Transfer of Power Why was Jefferson’s inauguration a “revolution?” “Revolution of 1800” was the transfer of power from one political party (the Federalists) to another (the Republicans).

B. Jefferson & the Judiciary Repeal of the Judiciary Act of 1801 The Republican Congress repealed the Judiciary Act of 1801which abolished circuit judgeships and other minor offices made in the last hours of the Adams presidency. Importance of the Marbury v. Madison Ruling (1801) Case involved William Marbury and his appointment. The ruling initiated the Court’s power of “judicial review” which allowed the high court to declare acts unconstitutional.

B. Jefferson & the Judiciary Impeachment of Justices Jefferson was left with the increased power of Chief Justice John Marshall and the Supreme Court. Marshall, a Federalist, was appointed to the Court by John Adams in his last days as President. Jefferson did persuade the Republican-controlled Senate to impeach two Federalist judges, including John Pickering, for “high crime or misdemeanor.”

C. Conflicts with Federalist Policies Acceptance of the National Bank Albert Gallatin did help Jefferson to eventually accept the Bank of the United States as a necessary evil. Repeal of the Excise Taxes Jefferson persuaded Congress to dismantle Hamilton’s excise tax and pursue other avenues of income. Sources of Good Revenue Tariffs and the sell of land brought in limited revenue.

C. Conflicts with Federalist Policies Treatment of the Military Jefferson reduced the size of the army and navy and relied more on state militia’s and the creation of the “mosquito fleet” of small coastal vessels. Slave Trade Outlawed (Effective: January 1, 1808) Created the smuggling of slaves into the United States until 1861.

D. Conflict with the Barbary States Barbary War (1800-1805) Jefferson’s “gunboat diplomacy” eventually led to a change in policy as he committed the Navy to defending shipping rights in the Mediterranean. “Barbary Wars” were naval conflicts against the state-sanctioned piracy of Muslim mariners operating out of the “Barbary states” (present-day Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya).
