  1. First 3 Presidency’s Review Most important points on last class’ worksheet

  2. Washington’s Cabinet • Secretary of State: Thomas Jefferson • Secretary of Treasury: Alexander Hamilton • Secretary of War: Henry Knox • Attorney General: Edmond Randolph

  3. Jay’s Treaty • Treaty of Paris wasn’t specific enough, which lead to confusion. • Jay’s Treaty was to clear up issues over trading, borders, Native Americans and Loyalists • Agreed on where the Canadian border was, made sure there was fair trade and the British had to leave their forts on American soil.

  4. Washington’s Farewell Address • He warned against Foreign alliances • Make sure the 3 Branches stay even (Check’s and Balances) • He warned against Political Parties

  5. XYZ Affair • Problem: French seizing American ships trading with Britain • Americans send politicians to France to talk about this problem. • French agents demand a bribe to talk to the French government • Eventually they settle their arguments and agree to be trade partners again

  6. The First Political Parties • Federalists: want a strong federal government • Democratic-Republicans: want a weaker federal government. Less taxes, more state rights

  7. Alien and Sedition Acts • Federalist controlled Congress passed these acts to limit the rights of immigrants and to stop citizens from speaking out against the government. • Made to quiet the critical Democratic-Republicans

  8. Marbury vs. Madison • Supreme Court vs. Secretary of State • John Adams lost re-election vs. Jefferson. • Being a sore loser he appointed a bunch of Federalist judges before he left so Jefferson would be surrounded by enemies. • Supreme court said that was Unconstitutional = Judicial Review

  9. The Louisiana Purchase • By 1803, Americans were moving further westward. Settlers had crossed the Appalachian Mountains and headed for parts known and unknown. Pioneers like Daniel Boone had blazed trails and roads, allowing families to travel to new places. Soon, the Northwest Territory and other places were bustling with Americans.

  10. Louisiana Purchase • Everyone wanted more: more places to live, more livestock for their farms. The one thing that the United States Government wanted more of was land. And the Louisiana Territory had A LOT of land.

  11. Louisiana Purchase • In 1803 we bought “Louisiana” from the French who sold it to us because Napoleon needed money to fight his War in Europe. • We bought the land (530 million acres) for $15 million dollars. • That’s less than THREE CENTS per acre
