American Pageant Ch. 11

One of the greatest problems that John Adams and the Federalists faced in the election of 1800 was

• Adam's efforts to get America involved in a war with France.
• increased public debt brought on by war preparations.
• Adam's refusal to take the country to war against France.
• Alexander Hamilton's support of Adams.

In the election of 1800, the Federalists accused Thomas Jefferson of all of the following EXCEPT

• having robbed a widow of her trust fund.
• being an atheist.
• secretly encouraging Aaron Burr to assassinate Alexander Hamilton.
• having robbed children of their trust funds.

In the 1800 election, Thomas Jefferson won the state of New York because

• of a reaction against Alexander Hamilton, Jefferson's enemy.
• Aaron Burr used his influence to turn the state to Jefferson.
• of the high taxes passed by the Adams administration.
• Jefferson had a natural appeal for New York's urban ethnic voters.

The Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans presented themselves as all of the following EXCEPT

• believers in a strong central government.
• strict constructionists.
• protectors of agrarian purity.
• strong supporters of state's rights.

Though Jefferson won the popular and electoral vote, a strange deadlock led to the election being decided

• in the Senate.
• by the Electoral College.
• in the House of Representatives.
• by the Supreme Court.

On becoming president, Thomas Jefferson and the Republicans in Congress immediately repealed

• the Alien and Sedition Acts.
• the charter of the National Bank.
• the excise tax on whiskey.
• money to fund the naval build-up.

When it came to the major Federalist economic programs, Thomas Jefferson as president

• left practically all of them intact.
• quickly dismantled them.
• attacked only the Bank of the United States.
• vetoed any new tariffs.

The chief justice who carried out, more than any other federal official, the ideas of Alexander Hamilton concerning a powerful federal government was

• James Madison.
• William Marbury.
• John Marshall.
• John Jay.

The case of Marbury v. Madison involved the question of who had the right to

• commit the United States to entangling alliances.
• determine the meaning of the Constitution.
• purchase foreign territory for the United States.
• appoint Supreme Court justices.

John Marshall, as chief justice of the United States, helped to strengthen the judicial branch of government by

• applying Jeffersonian principles in all of his decisions.
• asserting the doctrine of judicial review of congressional legislation, giving the Supreme Court the power to determine constitutionality.
• overriding presidential vetoes.
• increasing the number of justices on the Supreme Court.
