Washington & Adams: Presidents #1 & #2

Student Goals You should be able to: Outline the steps that GW had to take to form a new government Explain how the first two political parties were formed and what their differences in philosophy were Explain what’s happening in Europe and how it is starting to impact the US Explain why John Adams had such a difficult term in office

Domestic Issues Pres. Washington V.P. John Adams Establishes the first presidential cabinet: Alexander Hamilton (Sec. of the Treasury) Thomas Jefferson (Sec. of State) Henry Knox (Sec. of War) Edmund Randolph (Attorney General) Timothy Pickering (Postmaster General)

Hamilton’s Economic Plan 1 st priority = pay back all debts: (excise tax & a protective tariff) Whiskey Rebellion = small distillers saw it as unfair Larger distillers would pay a lower rate than the smaller distillers Small distillers = 9 cents per gallon Larger distillers = 6 cents per gallon Farmers in western counties are upset

National Supremacy Western farmers start to harass tax collectors July 1794 = attack the Federal Marshall’s office in Allegheny County, Penn. Pres. Washington calls up 13,000 troops led by Gen. Harry Lee (father of Robert E. Lee) Establishes supremacy of the federal gov’t

The National Bank Created to establish monetary policy and regulate the banking industry Hamilton believes that it will create a solid financial future Jefferson opposes this Claims that the Federal gov’t doesn’t have the authority Beginnings of the 1 st two political parties Nat’l Bank created for a 20 year period

Political Parties Jefferson & Madison = Democratic-Republicans (Jeffersonian Republicans) Limited national government Strict Interpretation of the Constitution Hamilton & Adams = Federalists Strong national government Loose Interpretation of the Constitution

Foreign Policy Great Britain vs. France (engaged in a long, drawn out conflict) Hamilton = support G.B. Jefferson = support France Washington = stay neutral This conflict would eventually lead to the War of 1812

Election of 1796 John Adams (Federalist) = President Thomas Jefferson (Dem.-Rep.) = V.P. Throughout Adams presidency Jefferson does all that he can to undermine Adams ***Constitution does not take into consideration political parties Eventually fixed by the 12 th Amendment (1804)

President Adams Took much criticism during his presidency Continued policy of Neutrality XYZ Affair – leads to lots of outrage towards the French Many call for war against France Feels the Army and Navy are too weak Loses support within his own party

Alien and Sedition Acts Several new laws passed by the Federalists to silence opposition: Citizenship requirement from 5 years to 14 years The president had the right to imprison anyone who he deemed to be a threat Numerous people are rounded up & imprisoned just because they criticize the Adams’ presidency Becomes very unpopular – people see it as a clear violation of free speech

Election of 1800 Demo.-Rep. ~ Jefferson & Burr Federalists ~ Adams & Pinckney Each elector told to vote twice, once for president and for VP; however, there was no distinction between the two votes Result ~ Tie between Jefferson and Burr Election goes to the House of Rep’s Jefferson is chosen as the new President

Midnight Appointments As Adams is leaving office, he is determined to have a lasting legacy Federalists in Congress pass a bill creating a number of new judicial positions Adams fills these seats with Federalist judges Most importantly, John Marshall is appointed as the new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Some of the commissions go undelivered Sets up a showdown ~ Marbury v. Madison Judicial Review
