Issue with the electoral system

- President Adams was a federalist

- Vice-President Jefferson was an anti-federalist

- How might this cause issues if the President and Vice-President are from different parties?

Page 13: The First Political Parties. Parties in the United States An organized group of people with similar political ideas. The first political parties were

John Adams as President

- Adams worked in government most of his life

- Attended the Continental Congress

Page 15: The First Political Parties. Parties in the United States An organized group of people with similar political ideas. The first political parties were

The XYZ Affair

- French thought Jay’s Treaty was America’s way of supporting Britain in the conflict between France and Britain

- France as a result attacked American ships trading with Britain

- Adams sent diplomats to Paris to try to solve the problem

- French would not meet with America unless we paid them a bribe

- Adams urged Congress to prepare for war and was furious with the French diplomats he called “X,Y, and Z”!

Page 16: The First Political Parties. Parties in the United States An organized group of people with similar political ideas. The first political parties were

Alien and Sedition Acts- Public was furious that the French demanded a bribe

- Became suspicious of aliens - a.k.a. people who lived in the U.S. but were not citizens

- Citizens wondered if French aliens would remain loyal to U.S. if they went to war with France

- Federalists passed the Alien and Sedition Acts

- Sedition = Anti-government activities

- Act allowed president to imprison or deport aliens

Page 17: The First Political Parties. Parties in the United States An organized group of people with similar political ideas. The first political parties were

Issues

- Republicans saw Alien and Sedition Acts as the Federalists taking too much power

- Madison and Jefferson wrote protests against these acts

Page 18: The First Political Parties. Parties in the United States An organized group of people with similar political ideas. The first political parties were

Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798

- These resolutions called the Alien and Sedition Acts unconstitutional

- Said states would not enforce these laws

- Kentucky Resolution - said states could nullify(cancel) laws that states thought were unconstitutional

Possible War With France

- Federalists still wanted Adams to declare war

- Adams instead sent a representative to seek peace with France

- In 1800 the French signed a treaty to stop attacking U.S. ships

- Hamilton and some other Federalists disagreed with Adams’ decision and split the party right before the election

- Looks like the Republicans may have a good shot at winning the White House.
