Best Answer

Jefferson reversed his opinion on the stric interpretation of the constitution by the purcahse of the Louisiana Territory.By completing the purchase, Jefferson had to put aside his principles because the allowance for this type of transaction was not expressly listed in the Constitution. Waiting for a Constitutional amendment might cause the deal to fall through. Therefore, Jefferson decided to go through with the purchase. Luckily, the people of the United States basically agreed that this was an excellent move.

What federalist policies did Jefferson reverse?

I think it is the Judiciary Act of 1801, also called the midnight appointments. This Act increase the number of judges in the court systems where most of the new judges are Federalists. Jefferson later on passed the Judiciary Act of 1802, an implement to the older one. This implement allow him to impeach judges that are partisan and bias. Hope this help.


What is on the back of The Louisiana Purchase nickel?

The first of two reverses on the 2004-dated Jefferson nickel has a rendition of the reverse of the original Indian Peace Medal commissioned for Lewis and Clark's expedition. The medals were presented to Native American chiefs and other important leaders as tokens of goodwill at treaty signings and other events. The reverse design features two hands clasped in friendship - one with a military uniform cuff, symbolizing the American government, and the other with a silver band adorned with beads and crossed peace pipe and hatchet above, representing the Native American community with whom the United States sought good relations.


What argument did federalists have about the Bill of Rights?

There are a couple of important perspectives when discussing the Bill of Rights in reference to the Federalists (Washington/Hamilton/Jay/Madison, et al.) and the anti-Federalists (George Mason, Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, George Clinton, et al.). Thomas Jefferson was in Paris the whole time the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights were considered, though he ended up leading the anti-Federalist party within a couple of years of his return to the States.Back in 1776 when the states declared independence, they each set up a state constitution and most included a bill of rights. The anti-Federalists were anti-U.S. Constitution because they believed in strong state's rights and a weak central government...therefore the Articles of Confederation were sufficient to their ends. In part, the lack of a Bill of Rights was a reason to delay ratification of the U.S. Constitution. They were trying to call for a second Constitutional Convention before any ratification could proceed.The Federalists had their hands full in trying to get the U.S. Constitution ratified, so they felt the Constitution should be ratified and then amend it with a bill of rights. The two big states leaders in Virginia and New York were determined to defeat the Constitution. Another Federalist position was: All rights not defined in the Constitution then remain with the states and the people. They were concerned that if you start naming these rights, then it worked in reverse - that you would only have the rights that were listed...it was solved when Amendment #9 was added: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Also, Amendment #10 was included: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.This addressed the concerns of the Federalists and the anti-Federalists. It was adopted by the U.S. Congress in 1789 and sent to the states for ratification which was ratified by the states in 1791.
