1. What was the XYZ Affair? What were the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions?

2. 1)Identify why the election of 1800 is so important. 2)Explain the Supreme Court Case Marbury vs. Madison AND what the outcome established!

3. Thomas Jefferson  Democratic Republican  Focused on States Rights  Believed that Adams was a “tool” of the rich Americans John Adams  Federalist  Focused on a Strong Central Gov’t  Believed that Jefferson was a dangerous supporter of France

4. The election of 1800 ended in a TIE, but not for President… Jefferson beat Adams by 8 votes, but Jefferson and Arron Burr tied (Jefferson and Burr are both D-R’s) According to the Constitution The House of Representatives would decide the election… After 6 days of talks, the House of Reps. picks JEFFERSON!!

5. Congress passes the 12 th Amendment. - During Presidential elections, the voters would vote for both President AND Vice- President!

6. In Jefferson’s inaugural speech, he extended an olive branch to the Federalists. “Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We are all D-Rs. We are all Federalists.” He believed in simplifying the Presidency He favored “Free Trade” He appointed D-Rs to important gov’t positions This is the start of Southern influence…. The next 2 Presidents are Southerners

7. John Adams…during his presidency, loaded the court with Federalists. Also pushed through the JUDICIARY ACT OF 1801! - Created and filled new judicial branch jobs with Federalists…called these people the “Midnight Judges” Jefferson…believed that since the letters were not delivered, he did not have to act upon them! William Marbury…sued Madison (he was the guy that was supposed to deliver the papers according to the Judiciary Act of 1789, but didn’t) in court to force his new appointment.

8. As Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, it was up to him (and the other members) to decide if Marbury was going to get that job or not! Marshall ruled that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was “UNCONSTITUTIONAL” This is the start of JUDICIAL REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before this, the Supreme Court did not have this power…now they do!
