    Analyze the contributions of TWO of the following in helping establish a stable governement after adoption of the constitution john adams, thomas jefferson, george washington

    Thomas Jefferson's presidency started with the Revolution of 1800, the first time political parties sent candidates and campaigned. He managed to stabilize and empower the people of the United States during his two terms as president. One of his major accomplishments was cleared the Revolutionary debt the US incurred. He did this by putting his frugal/simple economic plan into effect, reducing the navy to several ships and the army down to small militias. This was one of his 3 main goals at the start of his presidency that he accomplished. He also spent $15 million in acquiring the Louisiana Territory from a war-weary Napoleon Bonaparte. This doubled the size of the US Overnight and he went to work by sending expeditions westward and incorporating the people. This was important because previously, people had simply pushed past the boundary illegally or squatted, thus stabilizing the nation. Jefferson also nixed Adam's and Washington's monarchial lives by not using a horse-drawn carriage or being called "Majesty" and gave more power to the states. As a strict-constructionist, he believed all powers not given to the federal government belonged to the states. This was important because…

    The inauguration of Thomas Jefferson as the nation's third president marked a turning point in America. While the Federalists were fading as a political force, he was able to complete the Louisiana Purchase and more than double the size of the United States, expanding west and broadening the horizons for the future of the country. During Jefferson’s first term as President, he encountered problems with his Vice President, Aaron Burr, but continued to address problems arising in order to make sure the United States was recognized as an emerging power in the world.…

    The Key Isues in the 1800 Presidential Election

    Thomas Jefferson won the election of 1800 by a majority of 73 electoral votes to 65, and even though Adams got more popular votes, Jefferson got New York. But, even though Jefferson triumphed, in a technicality he and Aaron Burr tied for presidency. The vote, according to the Constitution, would now go to the Federalist-dominated House of Representatives. Hateful of Jefferson, many wanted to vote for Burr, and the vote was deadlocked for months until Alexander Hamilton and John Adams persuaded a few House members to change their votes, knowing that if the House voted for Burr, the public outcry would doom the Federalist Party. Finally, a few changed their minds, and Jefferson was elected to the presidency. The “Revolution of 1800” was that there was a peaceful transfer of power; Federalists stepped down from office after Jefferson won and did so peacefully, though not necessarily happily and the Republicans were more of the “people’s party” compared to the Federalists.…

    Why Did Jefferson Break The Election Of 1801

    The presidential election of 1801 was against Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. It was an extremely close and hostile election. In fact, the first results of it was a tie. To break the tie, the ballot went up to the House of Representatives. Each state had one vote. This is where things got really heated! A young lad named Alexander Hamilton thought the election had terrible candidates. However, he saw Jefferson as the less of two evils. With this in mind, he went around persuading others to vote for Jefferson. Jefferson won on the 36th attempt to break the tie. Once his first term was over, he became a candidate for the election of 1804. He went against Charles Pinckney. Because Jefferson did so well during his first term, the…

    Thomas Jefferson Conspiracy Theory

    Conspiracy theories have been around for many years. The earliest one that I can find in politics was after the Tea Act of 1773. Thomas Jefferson stated that King George was sending armies to kill and oppress the American people. I believe this helped him to gain support in seceding from Great Britain. The second, also involving Jefferson, but was meant to keep him from being elected as president. Jefferson’s opposition claimed that he was part of a secret society, called the Illuminati, and that he was going to destroy the country with terror and tyranny. They also claimed that he was anti-religion. Another conspiracy was when a group, called the Freemasons or Masons, was thought to be behind Aaron Burr wanting to start an independent…

    Was Thomas Jefferson Really A Mistress?

    The term mistress is used when long-term female lover and companion who is not married to her partner, and the partner is married to someone else.However, I was surprised to learn that Thomas Jefferson had a personal slave for his pleasure. according many historians his wife had passed away when he made Sally Hemings his “mistress”. The term mistress does not apply in this case because she was not in love with her owner and this was not an affair, she was just raped whenever. However, in the past she would have been considered a mistress, because she was not married to Thomas Jefferson and their “romance” was a secret to the public. And whenever someone has a mistress one keeps the relationship a secret, because it was prohibited to have a relationship with a slave. She would still be a mistress because she had a long term relationship with him and had four kids.…
