John Adams begins to “court pack with federalists”

Appoints Madison as Justice of D.C…..the letter does not get delivered before TJ is Pres

Madison sues for delivery of the letter Chief Justice John Marshall: “The Judiciary Act

of 1789 was unconstitutional…the court cannot ENFORCE law, we can merely judge law” = JUDICIAL REVIEW

TJ Angry = court overturns the nullification law! Payback time….

The Dead Clutch of the Judiciary =

Marbury v. Madison 1803

Barbary Pirates 1801 Tripoli wants more bribery money 4 yrs long Pays us $60,000 Mosquito Fleet

Jefferson & Foreign Policy

Spain gives France Louisiana Territory 1800 US rights to port of New Orleans revoked! Go to war with France????? In 1803, Jefferson sent James Monroe to join

regular minister Robert R. Livingston to buy New Orleans and as much land to the east for a total of $10 million, tops! And the rights to the port of New Orleans.

Napoleon sells Louisiana Territory for a bargain of $15 million. They did not want a US/GB alliance They abandoned their US dreams of a French

empire due to losing of the Napoleonic Wars

The Louisiana Godsend

Strict constructionist

US Constitution does not allow for purchase of land

He lets it happen anyway…..

Jefferson = Two Faced

The purchase created a precedent of acquisition of foreign territory through purchase.

US turned to building factories

That “Dambargo” was pretty “Damgood”

Non Intercourse Act = Macon’s Bill No. 2

Opens all trade If we trade w/GB…we won’t trade w/Fr Vice versa

Napoleon agrees (lies) GB to trade w/US or we cannot trade at all! Madison the idiot
