Which of the following was true of the democracy that emerged at the turn of the century?

• Federalists generally supported it.

• Common men were no longer content to be governed by an aristocracy.

• It was the result of an increasingly educated American society.

In the case of Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court decided that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was

• constitutional, as it put into law the Supreme Court’s commitment to prioritizing and defending states’ rights rather than federal matters.

• constitutional, as the Constitution stated that as part of the separation of powers only the Supreme Court could approve judicial appointments.

• unconstitutional, because the Constitution had specified term limits and a popular election process as part of the appointment of justices.

• unconstitutional, because it gave the president less control over the appointment of judges than had been specified by the Constitution.

• unconstitutional, because the Constitution only specified that the Court should have original jurisdiction in cases involving foreign ambassadors or nations.

In the early 1800s, the United States paid bribes to the Barbary pirate states of North Africa to leave American shipping alone. What led Jefferson to send warships and fight a naval war?

• France backed the pirates’ demands for higher blackmail payments and attacked American shipping.

• Tripoli insisted on higher payments to free captured American sailors.

• Britain aided Moroccan pirates in intercepting American slave ships from Africa.

• Jefferson had promised to launch a war on North Africa when he assumed the presidency.

• gain the support of the Federalists.

• avoid French control of New Orleans.

• earn the military protection of the British.

• prove that the United States had become a world power.

• acquire new ports on the Pacific.

Why did Jefferson go through with the Louisiana Purchase, despite the potential ideological problems it posed?

• He was able to acquire investments from the Spanish to offset the high cost of the purchase.

• Native Americans came forward to propose a treaty, which made him feel better about taking their lands.

• The climate of the land being purchased made it not well suited economically for slavery, an institution he opposed.

• He wanted to create a protective buffer separating the United States from the rest of the world.

• It would help give the two political parties a shared goal since both saw the value in the acquisition of more land.

• caused Jefferson’s support in the South and West to deteriorate.

• established a settlement in Colorado.

• spread Christianity westward.

Jefferson’s ending of the international slave trade

• enacted the abolishment of slavery in the North and an organized process of gradual emancipation in the South.

• inspired lawmakers to pass legislation protecting Native Americans and their lands as well.

• failed to stop the illegal importation from Africa of hundreds of thousands of enslaved Africans.

• The Chesapeake incident was the initial cause of the introduction of the practice of impressment.

• There was a lengthy process of determining the citizenship of sailors before “impressing” them.

• British warships stopped American merchant ships and forced sailors into the British navy.

• American merchant ships rarely attracted deserted British sailors because they paid very little.

• the agricultural regions from Pennsylvania southward and westward.
