8. election of 1796 w/ fed. Adams winning

9. b/c of jay's treaty, french attack and impress American ships with results in undeclared naval war aka Quasi War

I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That " all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people." [XIIth amendment.] To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition. - Jefferson on Bank

Accordingly it is affirmed that it has a relation, more or less direct, to the power of collecting taxes, to that of borrowing money, to that of regulating trade between the States - Hamilton

supported by feds but shot down by madison and jefferson (dem reps)

recommended industiral advancement and mixed econ... to be more like europe

we are all republicans; we are all federalists

opposition:

Madison refused to give marbury his commission

marbury goes to supreme court (original jurisdiction)

uses writ of mandamus to "command" madison to do his job of delivering the commission

chief justice marshall says writ of mandamus unconst. therefore Madison won

supreme court can deem acts of congress (writ of mandamus from judiciary at of 1789 [unconst]) as unconst.

US LOSS AGAINST BARBARY PIRATES BUT SUCCESS W/ TREATY AND LOWER TAX THINGY

aaron burr would be the prez of the seceded states (he was DR but he was a power hungry bitch)

1804: scheme of yazoo land frauds discovered, new legislature to void land sales b/c done corruptly

farmers buy land from speculators, govt. wants to take the land back, unfair to farmers

Jefferson favored bill to give Georgia land to fix this issue... FAILED

a contract is a legally binding document, new legislature cannot void contract

2nd fail of plan is appealing to wilkinson bc he eventually turned Burr in @ FL... he flees to eruo tho so he safe for now

prez jefferson still couldnt fight back tho bc tiny navy

but this actually just really hurts US economy and neither feds nor dem reps like this

non-intercourse act was stop all trade w/ only birt and france (UNDER MADISON)

macon's bill #2 was only cut off trade btwn brit and france if they "misbehaved" (UNDER MADISON)

friendly relations w/ natives

stronger claims to oregon territory

maps

john c calhoun

US win @ battle of horseshoe bend (creeks)

huge fail: US invasion of canada

Brit burn down DC (Fort McHenry... Star Spangled Banner) - IMAGE

Battle of New Orleans HAPPENED AFTER WAR OVER WITH TREATY BUT SLOW COMMUNICATION --> US WIN --> APPEARANCE OF ANDREW JACKSON

everything back to how it was before... this was possible bc brit and french war over

LOSERS of war:

federalists - hartford convention 1814/15... opposed war of 1812 and wanted to secede again... this seen as unpatriotic DECREASE IN FEDS

natives - lost all land in Ohio River Valley because british lost, forced to cede land in SE (creeks in FL)

convention of 1818 - northern border above LA purchase, 49th parallel

Adams-Onis treaty 1819 - bought FL for $5mil from Spain, border btwn US and Me

1. no new euro colonization

2. leave current colonies be

3. US would stay out of euro affairs

no more feds... only dem reps now

monroe prez again in 1820

north v. south over slavery w/ new western territories

Jefferson's "like a fire bell in the night" quote about slavery issue ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

Missouri comp (good or bad?) - HENRY CLAY

1. MO = slave

2. ME = free

3. above 36/30 line is free and below is slave

debates over tariffs (north likes protective ones, south doesnt like any)

debates over second charter of Bank of US

panic of 1819... over-speculation in west

comes down to JQA and jackson

***vote goes to House because no majority and clay supports JQA (for position of sec. of state in return)

JQA WINS

[T]his momentous question, like a fire bell in the night, awakened and filled me with terror. I considered it, at once as the [death] knell of the Union. It is hushed, indeed, for the moment. But this is a reprieve only, not a final sentence. A geographical line, coinciding with a marked principle, moral and political, once conceived and held up to the angry passions of men, will never be obliterated; and every new irritation will mark it deeper and deeper.

President [Monroe] was averse to any course which should have the appearance of taking a position subordinate to that of Great Britain, and suggested the idea of sending a special Minister to protest against the interposition of the Holy Alliance… I remarked that the communication recently received from the Russian Minister… afforded a very suitable and convenient opportunity for us to take our stand against the Holy Alliance and the same time to decline the overture of Great Britain.
