Democratic-Republicans
Election of 1796 Federalists Democratic-Republicans Adams Thomas Pinckney Jefferson Aaron Burr But wait….what happened
34
Adams had the most electoral votes Jefferson second most
What does this mean?
35
Adams is POTUS Jefferson is VPOTUS Why is that bad?
36
They are from different political parties!
JOHN ADAMS BECOMES POTUS. Jefferson becomes VPOTUS They are from different political parties!
38
Conflict with France France is now going to seize American ships because they were upset about Jay’s Treaty. Americans start calling for war. Rather than go to war John Adams sends diplomats.
39
XYZ Affair Charles Maurice Tallyrand won’t meet with the diplomats
He sends 3 agents called, get this, X,Y,and Z They say that France will stop seizing our ships if we give him $250,ooo and loan France another 10 million.
42
Results of XYZ Affair Americans want to go to war
Adams wants to stay out of war He strengthens American Navy, building frigates which are fast sailing ships with many guns This leads to split in Federalist party
43
Federalists split Hamilton criticizes Adams
Federalists think that war would have weakened France He also wanted to build a strong military
44
Time to meet again the mighty short guy Napolean
45
OOPS! Napolean Bonaparte
46
Napolean He is preparing to take over Europe so he signs a treaty agreeing not to mess with American ships. The result makes Adams and Federalists weak in election of 1800.
47
Alien and Sedition Acts
As they are losing power, Federalists pass through two laws Alien Act: Get rid of all people from other planets
48
No silly-An alien is a foreigner.
Before 1798, An alien could become a citizen in 5 years The Alien Act made them wait 14 years Why?? Because many aliens supported Jefferson and Democratic-Republicans
49
Sedition Acts Sedition means stirring up rebellion against a government Citizens could be fined or jailed for criticizing the government Wait a second! Can they do that???????
50
So what do we do about it??? Vice President Jefferson goes to the states and thinks that they have the right to nullify, or cancel the Alien and Sedition Acts He feels that the states had the right to declare laws unconstitutional
51
Kentucky and Virginia make resolutions
The laws eventually get repealed or taken away.
52
Election of 1800 Now you have Jefferson and Burr for Democratic-Republicans Adams was Federalist candidate along with Charles Pinckney But wait…here comes new problem with election
53
Election of 1800 Both Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr get 73 electoral college votes. 36 votes to break the tie…and Jefferson wins. Jefferson wins because Hamilton makes a deal…he thinks that Jefferson is lesser of two evils.
54
12th amendment passed Because of the election of 1800, the 12th amendment is passed having people vote President/Vice President as a ticket Cool part...peaceful transition of power
55
Burr-Hamilton Duel In 1804, the feud between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton worsens and Hamilton is challenged to a duel. He ends up being killed.
