What did John Quincy Adams do in 1804?

Answer 1

Major Domestic Policy: During the Election of 1824, none of the presidential candidates received a majority vote of the electoral votes. Then it was up to the House of Representatives to decide. One of the other presidential candidates, Clay, pledged his support for Adams, and Adams won the election. This is called the "Corrupt Bargain." During his presidency, the New Englanders proposed a new tariff that would raise rates. The southerners went a step farther and included higher rates for goods and raw materials. Manufacturers voted against the bill with the Southerners, because it gave them very little profit. The bill was defeated, but the plan created by the Southerners did not work. The Tariff of Abominations was passed. This helped widen the crack between the North and the South because the Vice-President, John C. Calhoun, and the Southerners created Calhoun's Exposition and Protest, that stated that Nullification was constitutional, but tariffs were not. Adams' presidency was also marked with more support for Clay's American System. The Cumberland Road and Erie Canal were created, which allowed for an expansion in the market economy and more trade and business between the West and the East.

Major Foreign Policy: During the presidency of Adams, the world could be characterized as peaceful. There were no major foreign events happening at this time. The government was more focused on what was happening between the North and the South at the time. The only event that could be characterized as foreign affairs would be the Panama Congress, where the U.S. discussed trade with the British in the West Indies.

Major Supreme Court Cases:
 Ogden vs. Saunders: In 1826, this case was between Saunders, a Kentucky citizen, who sued Ogden, a Louisiana citizen. Ogden had a contract when he was a citizen of New York that said that he would make a payment. Saunders said that Ogden never made the payment, but Ogden claimed that he had gone bankrupt, and therefore was protected by the New York bankruptcy law. The Supreme Court decided that the New York law on bankruptcy did not violate the Obligation of Contracts Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
 Willson vs. Blackbird Creek Marsh Co.: In 1829, the state of Delaware allowed the Blackbird Creek March Co. to create a dam that would span the width of Blackbird Creek. The dam was damaged when Willson, a sailing vessel owner, broke through it with his ship. The company sued Willson for charges including trespassing. The Supreme Court decided that as long as Congress did not exercise power over commerce in a certain area, the state could regulate that area as long as the regulations do not conflict with the Dormant Commerce Clause of the Constitution.

Intellectual and Social Developments:
 The market economy expands as the Erie Canal is completed.
 A business class is created.
 Rural women and young girls are hired to work in different kinds of factories.
 White male suffrage starts to spread around the world.
 The creation of the Jackson and Democratic Party
 Noah Webster's Dictionary
 Last of the Mohicans is written by James Fenimore Cooper

Adams' Legacy: Adams had a lot of experience in politics by the time he was elected into office. He put his country first ahead of anything else. He knew he was destined for politics ever since the young age of 14. Adams led the way for candidates who did not belong to any political party. This was advantageous because he did not worry about what any party believed. He was concerned with the desires of the U.S. citizens. Even after his term as president, he continued to be involved in politics. Many of his beliefs were remembered long after he was gone, and most of them came into effect, such as the abolition of slavery, independence, and unity.

Answer 2

John Quincy Adams served only one term as president. He supported internal improvements including the extension of the Cumberland Road(the National Road). In 1828, the so-called "tariff of abominations" was passed. Its goal was to protect domestic manufacturing. It was strongly opposed in the South and led Vice President John C. Calhoun to argue again for the right of nullification - to have South Carolina nullify it by ruling it unconstitutional. Adams had an ambitious program called "American System." In his first annual message to Congress, Adams presented an ambitious program for modernization that included roads, canals, a national university, an astronomical observatory, and other initiatives He proposed a comprehensive program of internal improvements (roads, ports and canals), the creation of a national university, and federal support for the arts and sciences. However, the funds would be provided by increased tariffs to support internal improvements such as road-building, and a national bank. The South called these tariffs as "abomination," and with being tagged as being part of a corrupt election especially by Andrew Jackson, his plans were doomed. He snubbed Jackson by not attending Jackson's inauguration as Jackson did to him during the last weeks of the Presidency.
