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.

• 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.

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.

Thomas Jefferson and his followers opposed John Adam's last-minute appointment of new federal judges mainly because

• the men appointed were of poor quality.
• they did not want a showdown with the Supreme Court.
• it was an attempt by a defeated party to entrench itself in the government
• these judges were not needed.

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.
