Jefferson Takes Office Mr. Mack History of the United States January 21, 2014 EQ: What was Thomas Jefferson’s legacy as President of the United States?

How did Jefferson chart a new course for the government? In 1800, President John Adams ran for reelection against Thomas Jefferson. Federalists supported John Adams. Republicans supported Thomas Jefferson.

By receiving 73 electoral votes, Jefferson defeated Adams. Federalists threatened civil war if Jefferson were elected. Republicans accused John Adams of wanting to create a monarchy. The election of 1800 was viciously contested.

Jefferson Thomas Jefferson - 73 VotesAaron Burr - 73 Votes The House of Representatives had to break the tie. They voted for Jefferson to be President and Burr to be Vice President. However, Jefferson and his running mate, Aaron Burr, received the same number of votes.

To avoid this situation in the future, Congress passed the Twelfth Amendment. Twelfth Amendment From 1804 on, electors would vote separately for President and Vice President.

Jefferson was the first President to be inaugurated in Washington, D.C., the new capital. In his inaugural address, Jefferson urged all Americans to unite. Jefferson chose a less aristocratic ceremony. In the past: The President rode to the inauguration in a fancy carriage. People bowed to the President. At Jefferson’s inauguration: Jefferson walked to the ceremony. People did not bow. They shook Jefferson’s hand.

Jefferson thought of his election as the “Revolution of 1800.” His first goal was to limit the power of the federal government. Jefferson vowed to change many of the policies of George Washington and John Adams. He believed in the idea of laissez faire, from the French term for “let alone.”

Jefferson created new Republican policies and kept some existing Federalist policies. RepublicanFederalist

Jefferson also targeted the Sedition Act, which he had long opposed. Many people had been convicted and fined under the act. Others had been imprisoned. Jefferson ordered the fines refunded. Jefferson released the prisoners.
