3 Tale of the Tape Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Charles Pinckney and Aaron Burr Run for the Presidency of the United States in 1800 Federalists Claimed that Jefferson Was a pro French Radical who would lead a violent revolution here while he destroyed Religion Democratic Republicans claimed Adams wanted to Make himself a king and would use the Army to limit people’s Freedoms

4 Sounds Like a GOT MILK Commercial
Jefferson and Burr would Tie for the presidency with 73 votes each with Adams and Pinckney not having enough votes to be president The House of Representatives would break the tie in the election but were split on who to support On the 36th vote, Jefferson became president due to the support of Alexander Hamilton and the Voting system would be changed by the 12th amendment Hamilton would later be killed By Aaron Burr in a Gun Fight

5 A common Era of Man Jefferson was a common man and preached the common life to help build morals and domestic values Jefferson would Actually Walk to his inauguration so he would be viewed as just another common man. Jefferson would support a limited Government and would stress the importance of Civil Liberties Jefferson would also oversee the Building and strengthening of Washington DC as our Capital

6 Putting toothpaste Back Into the Toothpaste dispenser
Jefferson would name his Cabinet, including James Madison, and undid many unpopular Acts and Taxes the Federalists Passed Jefferson started to reduce military spending(by cutting the military) to compensate for lost tax revenue from repealing the Whiskey Tax Jefferson created a Government that would protect the nation from Foreign Threats, deliver the mail, and collect custom duties Jefferson would also decide to keep the national Bank realizing it’s importance

7 Court Marshall Before Adams left the presidency he passed the Judiciary Act of 1801 allowing him to appoint 16 federalist judges to the federal courts to keep federalists in a role of power Since Justices were appointed for life, Jefferson was powerless to change them as some of them were appointed before midnight on the day Adams left power Adams also appointed John Marshall as chief justice where he would serve for over 3 decades

8 Bury Bury Mad Chief Justice Marshall would preside over the Case of Marbury v. Madison(1803) John Adams Would appoint William Marbury as Justice of the peace of Washington DC but the Documents were not able to be approved by Adams When James Madison Refused to Appoint William Marbury forcing Marbury to sue to gain his appointment Marbury’s case would make it to the Supreme Court Allowing Federalist Marshall to decide the case

9 Marshall Law Justice Marshall Decided that Marbury V. Madison could not be heard as it did not fit as a case the Supreme Court had authority on Marbury v. Madison set up Judicial Review giving the Supreme Court final say on constitutional matters Marshall seized new powers for the supreme court, but since it was used to the Democratic Republican’s benefit, Jefferson could not fight it This decision would set up a lasting Checks and Balances system still in effect today
