  • The election of 1800- Thomas Jefferson beat John Adams to establish a full democratic-republican government
  • Judiciary Act of 1801- this act created more seats on the judiciary committee which Adams filled with federalists in order to keep his own political agenda alive
  • Midnight judges- these were the judicial appointments of John Adams after the act of 1801. they are referred to as this due to the late times that Adams appointed them at
  • William Marbury- he was one of the several Midnight judges appointed by Adams
  • Judiciary Act of 1789 and The Writ of Mandamus- this original act set the judiciary committee at 6 people and allowed the court to issue a writ of mandamus, which forces courts to uphold the law or correct abuse
  • Thomas Jefferson and James Madison- Jefferson told Madison to not deliver documents to Marbury and his associates to prevent Marbury's corrupt party from taking office
