Objectives Discuss the structure of the federal government and the emergence of political parties. Explore the major foreign-policy issues that confronted the United States. Describe the growing differences between the North and the South.

Terms and People Alien Act − Federalist law meant to make it more difficult for immigrants to become citizens Sedition Act − Federalist law meant to stop criticism of President Adams’s policies by Democratic Republicans judicial review − power of the court to declare an act of Congress or the President unconstitutional Louisiana Purchase − large territory purchased from France in 1803, doubling the size of the U.S.

Terms and People (Continued) impressment − British practice of “pressing” or forcing American sailors into the British navy embargo − suspension of trade cotton gin − invention by Eli Whitney to separate cotton fibers from shells, made slavery more profitable in the South Monroe Doctrine − U.S. policy barring European interference in the Americas 3

How did the United States and its government change in the late 1700s and early 1800s? Both internal political issues and international affairs tested the new nation. Despite these challenges, the United States grew. But with growth came economic, political, and social issues that began to divide the North and the South.

In 1789, George Washington took office as the first President of the United States. Left to right: Washington, Adams, and Jefferson 5

The future of the nation depended on his ability to lead. Washington proved an excellent choice. He selected a skilled Cabinet, including Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton proposed an economic plan that included a national bank.

Opponents criticized Hamilton’s broad interpretation of the Constitution. Federalists believed the Constitution empowered Congress to enact laws for the “general welfare.” They were loose constructionists. Democratic Republicans wanted to limit the federal government only to powers stated in the Constitution. They were strict constructionists. 7

American loyalties were split by the French Revolution and the resulting war between France and Britain. Democratic Republicans sympathized with the French, while Federalists favored Britain. Despite U.S. neutrality, American ships were seized by the British for trading with the French. In 1794 Washington sent John Jay to negotiate with Britain. Jay’s Treaty avoided war but the Democratic Republicans cried foul. 8

American ships were seized. French officials demanded bribes. Full-scale naval war erupted. In 1796 John Adams was elected the second President. He faced challenges from France. 9

Unpopular laws led to the decline of the Federalists. The Federalists exploited the crisis by passing two laws aimed at their opponents. The Alien Act allowed the deportation of pro- French immigrants who criticized the government. The Sedition Act made it a crime to publicly discredit Federal leaders. Unpopular laws led to the decline of the Federalists. 10

Thomas Jefferson defeated Adams in the election of 1800. The election set a precedent for the peaceful transfer of power based on voting. Jefferson and the Democratic Republicans eliminated unpopular taxes, cut expenses, and reduced the national debt. 11

In Marbury v. Madison the Supreme Court asserted judicial review, the power to decide the constitutionality of acts of Congress or the President. Jefferson’s policies to limit federal power, however, were checked by Chief Justice John Marshall. 12

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark explored the new territory. In 1803 Jefferson obtained the huge Louisiana Purchase from French ruler Napoleon Bonaparte. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark explored the new territory. 13

Jefferson persuaded Congress to declare a trade embargo. He hoped the lack of trade would hurt Britain. It hurt Americans more. The unsuccessful embargo was lifted in 1809. Britain resumed seizing U.S. ships trading with France and allowed for the impressment of U.S. sailors.

In 1809, Democratic Republican James Madison succeeded Jefferson as President. In 1812 the United States went to war with Britain. The Americans failed to take Canada and the British burned Washington, D.C. The war ended with an 1814 peace treaty.

Northerners built factories during the War of 1812. These attracted European immigrants and promoted urban growth. War set the North on a different path from the South

Southern states remained agricultural and dependent on enslaved labor. Eli Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin made slavery more profitable for southern planters. Plantations expanded−and forced more slaves to work−to provide cotton for northern textile mills.

It stated European monarchies had no business meddling with American republics. The United States, similarly, would stay out of European affairs. In 1823, President James Monroe issued the Monroe Doctrine.
