2) large nation with many different interests that need representation

1) strict use of electoral system (single member districts, electoral college)

2) tradition

Hamilton: rich and well-born aristocracy, based upon birth, wealth, and status

Jefferson: a natural aristocracy, based on talent and virtue. advocated rule by educated men of property but he promoted widespread access to both education and property

F: nationalist: strong central govt; loo0se interpretation of Constitution

R: Localist, states' rights: limited central govt; strict interpretation of the Constitution

F: industrial economy (manufacturing); urban centered

R: agrarian economy (farming); rural centered

F: modified capitalism (govt aids business but no regulation); reponsive to creditors

1)full funding of the debt would create a windall for speculators and would amount to a transfer of $ from the farmers/common people to wealthy investors

2) assumption of state debts unfair to states that already payed off debts. ppl in states would be taxed again by federal govt for other states debts

*compromise between Hamilton(given funding plan) and Jeff. (new national capital in South)

1) hit farmers/common people hard- transfer $ to wealthy investors

2)leads to Whiskey Rebellion. Jefferson and Madison saw actions taken by Washington/Hamiliton extreme (they marched into PA with a federal army) and threatening sign of militarism

1) fear retaliation by England against Wouthern staple crops

2) will raise the price of foreign manufactured foods that southerners must buy, all benefit factories in North

1) unconstitutional

2) too much concentrated power in the hands of men not elected/accountable to the public (only 20% owned by federal govt)

3) create a "monied interest" which would benefit the trade/economy of the NE but not S/W

-connection of language, culture 

-Hamilton admired the British "balanced" govt

-Britain is primary commercial power in the world; to trade with Britain would benefit US economy

-Hamilton wanted US to follow Brits entering the Industrial Rev. 

1) US signed Alliance with France during the Am Rev. that it should honor

2)France helped US win its Revolution, so Jeff believes that US should now support the French Rev

3) France is fighting for the same" natural rights" of man as the US stated in the Dec of Indep

4) France has overthrown monarchy and feudalism and procalimed a republic

*as French Rev. got bloodier, Jefferson and Maison tempered their support for it

the encouragement of the grow of small, owner-worked farms and in the discouragement of the rise of industries and cities. by 1816, Jefferson made his peace with the facts. "Experience has taught me that manufactures are now as necessary to our independece as to our comfort"

1) self-sufficient middle calss of "Yedman farmers" (small landowner)

2)Whose ideas would be formed by liberal education and a free Press

3) government should be minimal and taxes low

4) believed that capable, well-educated leaders should govern in the people's interest (Jefferson called them the "natural aristocracy" oppose to Hamilton's "artifical aristocracy")

-no 2nd term

-end partisan bickering

-no permanent alliances (origin of foreign policy of isolationism)

-establishes precendents ("Mr. President")

-unites the new nation, helps it get off to a strong start 

-compact theory of the Constitution (states created the Constitution, it is a compact deal between the states- so they can decide if a federal law is constitutional or not)

-nullification (a state can "nullify" or void a federal law that it thinks is unconstitutional)

Why did Jefferson heistate in accepting the LA Purchase?

1) kills Hamilton in a duel (b/c Hamilton ruined Burr's run for governor of NY)

2)Conspiracy to serparate West from US (with General James Wilkinson) acquitted in treason trails (not 2 witnesses)

The president (backed by Republicans) tried to change Dartmouth (supported by Federalists) from a private to a public institution by having its charter revoked. The Court ruled that the charter though issued by the king during colonial days, still constituted a contract and thus could not be changed or revoked w/o the consent of both parties. 

Result: severly limit the power of state govts to control the corporation, which was the emerging form of business organization

1) increases federal power over the states

2) increases power of the Supreme Court

3) laid the groundwork for a "broad" interpretation of The Constitution

1) Britain's seizure of American ships (most significant cause) and impressment of Am. sailors (Madison states that these actions were violations of our "freedom of the seas"

2) The Americans' belief that the Brits in Canada were arming the Indians and inciting them to raid Am. settlements

3) Am. ambitions to annex Canada and Florida (war hawks)

NE- most directly concerned with maritime rights, mainly oppose to the war

S/W- most strongly for territorial expansion, wholeheartedly in favor of the war

1) Growth of Am. Nationalism

2) Strengthening of Isolation

3) Increase in Westward Mirgration

4)Encouragement of American Industry

5) Disappearance of the Federalist Party

1) main cause of the war was repealed 2 days before Congress delcared war

2) the main battle of the war (Battle of New Orleans) was fought after the peace treaty had already been signed

3) Neither side "winds" any land, money, concessions from the other side

classic sattement of isolationism

1) no new colonization of the Americas

2) US will not intervene in Europe

1) the Protective Tariff

2) BUS recharter

3) internal improvements

causes: wildcat banks, land speculation

consequences: Western and Southern farmers blame the BUS

North: industry on the rise (effort to reduce the dehumanizing effort on labor of the industrial rev)

The South: Yeomen farmers

The West: most were commercial farmers (reciprocal relationship with north- send raw materials and food to the North for manufactured goods)

1) the tariff

2) internal improvements

3) the BUS

4) the expansion of slavery to the West 

1) set precendent for rest of LA Purchase Area

2) Missouri-slave sate main-free (12 fre to 12 slave)

3) establishes the 36 30' Line- (only for LA area)

4) Henry Clay (The Great Compromiser)

1) Missouri Compromise

2) Nullifaction Crisis Compromise

3) Compromise of 1850

1) Farmers move West and take out loands for purchasing land (demand of land drives price up)

2) State chartered "wildcat banks" to provide the increased demand of loans (print money which is not backed by gold/silver->inflation)

3)specualtors begin to borrow large amount of money and buy large amts of land. many of these loans were made to speculators who had little chance of paying them back (risky loans)

4)BUS stopped loaning money itself to the wildcat banks. A "speculative buffle"was now out of control

5) BUS began to call in loands it had made to the wildcat banks(demand immediate payment in full)-> wildcat banks called in farmers' loans who couldnt pay it back and lost their farmers
