Section 1
Government and Party Politics
In 1789, the leaders of the new government gathered in New York City. The newly ratified Constitution was entirely untested.
How did debate over the role of government lead to the formation of political parties?
The Framers and President Washington knew that a good start was essential to the future of
the republic.
Chapter 25 Section 1

Section 1
Government and Party Politics
When George Washington took office, he quickly established precedents for running the government.
The new President faced many challenges:

• There was no navy and the army had only 400 men.
• Spain closed the Mississippi River in New Orleans to American trade.
• British troops occupied American land along the Great Lakes.

Chapter 25 Section 1
The Cold War Begins
Section 1
Government and Party Politics
The huge debt was the biggest problem facing the administration. Treasury Secretary Hamilton suggested a controversial plan.
Rather than just pay off the federal debt, state debts would also be assumed. Bonds for the total would be sold to wealthy investors.
The investors would receive annual dividends and have a stake in helping the government succeed.
Chapter 25 Section 1
The Cold War Begins
Section 1
Government and Party Politics
• Hamilton also proposed chartering a Bank of the United States to regulate state banks and insure business support.
• He hoped to replace the nation’s agriculturally based economy with commerce and manufacturing.
• He proposed a high tariff or tax on imported goods to earn revenue and encourage domestic industry.
Chapter 25 Section 1

Section 1
Government and Party Politics
Hamilton saw 3 advantages to his financial plan
3 The plan would enrich investors who would reinvest and thus create more wealth.
The plan would gain political support from the wealthiest Americans. 2
The plan would establish the
nation’s financial credibility. 1
Chapter 25 Section 1

Section 1
Government and Party Politics
Wealth would be redistributed from farmers to merchants, and from the South to the North.
Investors who purchased the bonds would make huge profits at everyone else’s expense.
The costs would fall on farmers who would have to pay excise taxes and higher tariffs.
Antifederalists objected to Hamilton’s plan.
They had 3 main complaints:

Most southern states had already paid off their war debts. He asked why they should bail out northern states that still had debts.
Jefferson believed the plan gave more power to the government than the Constitution permits.
Secretary of State Jefferson opposed Hamilton’s plan.
Chapter 25 Section 1
The Cold War Begins
Section 1
Government and Party Politics
Hamilton
favored a loose construction of the Constitution.
Congress has implied powers, and can take any actions not specifically forbidden.
The Constitution allows Congress to act for the “general welfare” so it could charter a bank.
Jefferson favored a strict construction of the Constitution.
Congress should be limited to the powers specifically granted by the Constitution.
The Constitution does not give Congress power to charter a national bank, so it could not establish one
Chapter 25 Section 1
The Cold War Begins
Section 1
Government and Party Politics
In 1791, Congress accepted Hamilton’s plan.
In return, a new national capital was created. Washington D.C. would be placed in the South, on the banks of the Potomac River.
The national debt was funded, outstanding state debts were assumed, excise taxes and tariffs were levied, and the bank was authorized.
Chapter 25 Section 1
The Cold War Begins
Section 1
Government and Party Politics
An excise tax on whiskey led to divisions between
the Federalists and the Antifederalists.
• To increase their profits, western Pennsylvania farmers made whiskey from their grain.
• The whiskey tax reminded farmers of British taxes.
• In 1794, some farmers resisted payment. They harassed and intimidated tax collectors.
Chapter 25 Section 1
The Cold War Begins
Section 1
Government and Party Politics
Hamilton persuaded Washington to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion.

came from British goods.

powerless to
respond.
President Washington issued a proclamation of neutrality in 1793.

• The resulting Jay Treaty was narrowly approved by the Senate. Federalists praised it, but Democratic Republicans attacked it.
• Britain agreed to give up forts on American soil, but Americans had to repay pre-Revolutionary War debts still owed to Britain.

Chapter 25 Section 1
The Cold War Begins
Section 1
Government and Party Politics
In 1798 Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts making it a crime to criticize the government.
Immigrants, most of whom tended to favor Democratic Republicans, could be deported.

Democratic Republicans charged the acts violated the Constitution and were aimed to silence the opposition.

of the Jefferson administrations?
In 1800, the Democratic Republicans took
control of the presidency, Congress, and most of the state governments. The Federalists would never reclaim national power.

of government and acquired a huge new territory for the United States.
Chapter 25 Section 1
The Cold War Begins
Section 1
Government and Party Politics
Thomas Jefferson viewed his election as a revolution in the principles of government.
• Federalists held expensive public displays to gain respect for the government. Jefferson ended these as aristocratic threats to the republic.
• Where the Federalists discouraged public criticism, Jefferson invited debate and discussion.
Chapter 25 Section 1
The Cold War Begins
Section 1
Government and Party Politics
In office, Jefferson reduced the national debt, the government bureaucracy, and the size of the military. He also cut unpopular taxes on land and whiskey.

The Court’s role is to determine if acts of Congress or the President are constitutional, a concept known as judicial review.
Federal laws are superior to state laws.
The Constitution is to be interpreted broadly based on the government’s implied powers.
Contracts should be strictly enforced.

Marshall established judicial review in Marbury v. Madison
• In 1801, outgoing President John Adams appointed William Marbury (Federalist) to be a judge.
• Incoming Secretary of State James Madison (Democratic Republican) refused to give Marbury his appointment, so Marbury sued.
• Marshall ruled against Marbury stating that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional.
Chapter 25 Section 1
The Cold War Begins
Section 1
Government and Party Politics
Marshall’s ruling was a stroke of genius that gave the court more power which was a Federalist goal.
Because Madison and the Democratic Republicans won the case, he could not appeal.
Marshall’s decision set the precedent that the
Supreme Court is the institution that determines the
constitutionality of laws (judicial review).

Section 1
Government and Party Politics
In 1803, Jefferson doubled the area of the United States by purchasing the Louisiana Territory.
• Jefferson saw farm ownership as an ideal that freed citizens from a landlord or employer.
• He wanted to expand the U.S. westward so more Americans could be free farmers.
• But, French Emperor Napoleon owned Louisiana and threatened to forbid American farmers from using the port of New Orleans.
Chapter 25 Section 1

Jefferson asked to buy New Orleans. To his surprise, Napoleon offered to sell the entire Louisiana Territory.
• Jefferson decided to contradict his “strict construction” principles. (The power to purchase foreign territory is not specifically granted by the Constitution.)
• The deal was too good to pass up! The Louisiana Purchase added 828,000 square miles and doubled the U.S. for only $15 million.

War between France and Britain brought profits for American merchants but also led to trouble.
• The British Navy began stopping American ships and confiscating their cargo.
• To meet a shortage of sailors, they also began to force or “press” American sailors to serve in the British Navy, a practice called impressment.

The embargo failed to hurt Britain, but American merchants and farmers suffered from unemployment, bankruptcy, and loss of profits.
Despite the failure of the embargo, the U.S. expanded westward, grew economically,
and reduced its debt.
Jefferson asked Congress for an embargo, hoping a loss of American goods would change Britain’s policies.
