Study Notes
Jeffersonian Republicanism and Federal Power
- Jeffersonian republicanism advocated for a federal government with limited power and a reduction in federal government power.
- Jefferson reduced the military and navy size, eliminated federal jobs, repealed excise taxes, and reduced the national debt during his presidency.
- The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States, removing European presence from the nation’s borders, and extending the western frontier.
- The Louisiana Purchase was contrary to Jefferson's beliefs of limited government and strict construction of the constitution.
- The addition of new western states reduced New England's and the Federalists' power in national affairs.
- The Embargo Act of 1807 had catastrophic effects, leading to a significant drop in exports and imports.
- The Embargo Act was later replaced with the Non-Intercourse Act of 1809, forbidding trade only with Great Britain and France.
- Chief Justice John Marshall's decisions in landmark cases strengthened the power of the central government, much to Jefferson's dismay.
- The Judiciary Act of 1801 created new judge positions through "midnight appointments" by the Federalist Congress.
- In Marbury v. Madison, Chief Justice Marshall declared an unconstitutional clause in the Judiciary Act of 1789, making Marbury's request void.
- The British and French seizing neutral U.S. ships led to the Embargo Act, with the British warship Leopard firing on the U.S.S. Chesapeake off the coast of Virginia.
- The politically charged atmosphere of the time was exemplified by the Burr-Hamilton duel and the plot by diehard Federalists to establish a "northern confederacy."
