The Endurance of Sectionalism

The Constitution, as originally written, made no provisions for political parties. The original formula for the selection of the President and Vice President reflected this.

The Results: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, FEDERALIST REPUBLICAN President Thomas Jefferson, Vice President FEDERALIST REPUBLICAN

To the wicked, everything serves as a pretext. Voltaire

The Alien and Sedition Acts 1798 Allowed the President to deport undesirable aliens Extended the residency requirement for citizenship from 5 to 14 years Naturalization Act Alien Friends Act Alien Enemies Act Constitutional?

Were the Alien Acts constitutional? To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization… From Article I, Section 8: DELEGATED

The Alien and Sedition Acts 1798 EXPIRATION DATE: 3/4/1801 Outlawed the publication of "false, scandalous, and malicious writing" against the government Constitutional? Sedition Act

Was the Sedition Act constitutional? From Amendment I: Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press… RESERVED

Clip from HBO’s John Adams (2:46) EPIC FAIL The Sedition Act violated the Constitution on two counts: Free Speech & Press (1st) States’ Rights (10th) Clip from HBO’s John Adams (2:46)

What Now?

Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions

Federalist No. 10 AMONG the numerous advantages promised by a well constructed Union, none deserves to be more accurately developed than its tendency to break and control the violence of faction…

Virginia & Kentucky Resolutions 1798 Protest Resolutions Passed by state legislatures COMPACT THEORY Jefferson Madison The Constitution is a compact (agreement) between the states, and they have the authority to interpret it.

Virginia & Kentucky Resolutions 1798 How far can states go in resisting unconstitutional laws passed by the federal government? Jefferson Madison INTERPOSITION NULLIFICATION

Kentucky Resolutions In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down…by the chains of the Constitution.

Jefferson to John Taylor of Caroline “A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles.”

REVOLUTION? 1796 1800

…and Congress, too!
