  1. I challenge you to a duel! • Grab a loose piece of paper.. • Get a partner • And line up at the door

  2. The point? • After Washington leaves office… • ** Adams is elected 2nd president (federalist) • **After Adam’s term, Aaron Burr runs against Thomas Jefferson for president • **Election of 1801 was a tie- • Kicker… Hamilton speaks for Jefferson and wins him the election- Jefferson prez #3 • Because of this Hamilton is challenged to a duel by Burr and dies

  3. You have been Elected! Primary documents ie judiciary act 1789, constitution excerpts, and correspondences

  4. Mayor of Charlotte Before leaving office, the old mayor (Patsy Kinsey), gave all the political jobs to her friends. The paperwork for these hires has not made it to the proper office yet however… Should you: • Honor the jobs promised by Mayor Kinsey? • Cancel the jobs because they are not official yet?

  5. Weigh your options • What are the possible pros and cons to allowing these people to keep their jobs? • What are the possible pros and cons for denying these jobs?

  6. Consider this… • Would it make a difference if these people promised jobs had worked against you in the past? Why?

  7. Fold your answers up… • Try to get them pretty small and toss them into the center of the room.

  8. Brain Break- • What did the triangle say to the circle?

  9. Another brain break… • Draw a picture of yourself as a “midnight judge” – what would you wear? • You have three minutes.

  10. Jefferson to Edward Livingston • "This member of the Government was at first considered as the most harmless and helpless of all its organs. But it has proved that the power of declaring what the law is, ad libitum, by sapping and mining slyly and without alarm the foundations of the Constitution, can do what open force would not dare to attempt." • —Thomas Jefferson to Edward Livingston, 1825. ME 16:114 • Honors: Write a response- We are moving into the Marbury v Madison case, What “member” of government is discussed by Jefferson in this excerpt?

  11. **Marbury v Madison (Vocab) • “The Midnight Judges” • John Marshall • Judiciary Review • Judiciary act 1801 • Separation of Power- all branches are co-equal and independent • Rule of law- citizens are governed by the law and institutions, not individuals. The law is intended to be constant, predictable, and just.

  12. **The Facts: • Adams appointed John Marshall (federalist) as chief justice • Also push Judiciary act of 1801 through congress – Act expands number of judges to 16 • Adams filled all new positions with federalists on his last day of presidency- Midnight Judges • KEY POINT! Judges do not have a limited term, can serve for life

  13. The argument • Jefferson and DR party claim appointments are invalid • Went to court!

  14. Who are they? • Marbury = One of the appointed judges • Demanded his papers and appointment from congress under the Judiciary act of 1789 • Madison = Jefferson’s Secretary of State • Did not deliver the papers from congress to Marbury

  15. Ruling… • Supreme court ruled Judiciary act was unconstitutional • **Judiciary review- Allows supreme court to declare laws unconstitutional

  16. Please stand… Go get a paper from the center of the room.

  17. Read the responses from your classmate.. • Either in class now (if there is time) or for homework- to be handed in • Write a quick response to their answer using supporting evidence as to if they made a good decision

  18. Matching! • John Marshall • Judicial review • Judiciary Act 1801 • Midnight judges • Separation of power • Rule of Law • Jefferson • DR President • Adams appointed them last minute • Laws ruled unconstitutional • Laws are predictable and just • Chief Justice • Co-equal, independent branched • Increased # of judges
