APUSH Period 4 Review

Critics of Andrew Jackson would make all of the following claims except

• he lacked experience in governmental affairs
• he was a very common man and not fit to be president
• he gave political offices to his friends
• he gave too much power to the presidency

The American System of Henry Clay

• favored strong economic growth and a Second National Bank
• wanted to make the United States the military equivalent of Great Britain or France
• favored lowering tariffs so more goods could be purchased from abroad
• wanted to place a ceiling on the national debt

The Marbury v. Madison decision

• gave powers to the president that the Republicans of Thomas Jefferson claimed he didn't have
• gave broad judicial power to the state courts
• declared that the Alien and Sedition Acts were constitutional
• established the principle of judicial review

The concept nullification became an issue during Period 4 when

• South Carolina nullified congressional tariff bills
• Southern representatives to the Electoral College switched their votes in the 1824 election
• Virginia nullified congressional legislation concerning slavery
• South Carolina nullified congressional legislation concerning the removal of Native Americans

Thomas Jefferson's "Revolution of 1800" was remarkable in that it

• moved the United States away from its democratic ideals.
• marked the peaceful and orderly transfer of power on the basis of election results accepted by all parties.
• occurred after he left the presidency.
• was in no way a revolution.

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.

Thomas Jefferson was conscience-stricken about the purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France because

• the Federalists supported his action.
• he believed that the purchase was unconstitutional.
• he felt that the purchase was not a fair deal for France.
• war with Spain might occur.

To deal with British and French violations of America's neutrality, Thomas Jefferson

• declared war on Britain.
• enacted an economic embargo.
• declared war on France.
• did nothing.

Even though the victory in the Battle of New Orleans provided a large boost to American morale, it proved essentially meaningless because

• General Jackson was unable to pursue and destroy the British army after his victory
• The British continued their guerrilla attacks on the Mississippi Valley region
• the peace treaty had been signed several weeks before
• the British navy retained control of the shipping lanes around New Orleans
