What was Thomas Jefferson's job during McCulloch v Maryland?

Thomas Jefferson didn't play a role in McCulloch v. Maryland, (1819). He retired from politics in 1809, at the end of his second term as President, and became an advocate for higher education. Jefferson believed a well-educated populace was important to the success of democracy (or a republic).In 1819, the year McCulloch v. Maryland was decided, he helped found the University of Virginia (officially chartered as The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia), in Charlottesville. The public university was constructed on farmland once owned by then-President James Monroe. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe sat on the school's first Board of Visitors (board of directors).


Was jay's treaty a success or failure?

Jay was sent to England to appeal for peace between the two nations, and to get England to agree to stop impressment of American sailors. The British made few concessions. They agreed to evacuate the western forts, that they had already agreed to leave, and to some compensation for ships seized in the West Indies. The treaty seemed only to be benefiting wealthy merchants. Nothing was said about impressment. When the treaty was presented to the Senate, President Washington was attacked personally for the first time in his administration. Jefferson's supporters disliked the treaty. This was the beginning of the emergence of two parties, Jefferson's Democratic Republicans and Adams' and Hamilton's Federalist Party.

What did president carter have a serious problem with?

President Jimmy Carter's presidency was abysmal from the beginning. He was considered a Washington outsider. He had no support in Congress and could accomplish very little. His public support was nearly as bad. His energy plans backfired and sent the U.S. economy into a free fall. Family scandals plagued him. Other than his success with the 1978 Camp David Accords, his foreign relations were as unpopular as any other issue during his administration.
