To what extent was the election of 1800 aptly named the revolution of 1800 due to economics?

Answer 1

Thomas Jefferson named "The Revolution of 1800" so because his party, the Republicans, peacefully and orderly received the power with acceptance by the federalists.

The election was held from Friday, October 31 to Wednesday, December 3, 1800, and Jefferson defeated John Adams.

Answer 2

The American presidential election of 1800 was aptly named the 'Revolution of 1800' for several reasons. The most significant, however, was that it vaulted Thomas Jefferson, perhaps America's most outspoken opponent of federalism, into the presidency: this outcome signaled a movement away from the previously dominant trend of strong federalist control of the nation's highest offices.

Answer 3

The American presidential election of 1800 has come to be known as the 'Revolution of 1800' because it resulted in a surprising -- even 'revolutionary' -- outcome: Thomas Jefferson was elected as the nation's third president. The country had for over a decade been firmly led in a 'Federalist' direction (that is, toward expanded power for the federal government), but Jefferson himself was one of the most ferocious opponents of Federalism.

Answer 4

In America in 1800, the presidential election held that year resulted in what is often considered to be a 'revolution' -- with the ascendancy of Thomas Jefferson to the presidency. The reason for this is that the country had for over a decade been firmly led in a 'Federalist' direction (that is, toward expanded power for the federal government), but Jefferson himself was one of the most ferocious opponents of Federalism.

Answer 5

Foreign Policy

Jefferson brought the country it's first real international involvement. There were the Barbary Wars and the Embargo of 1807. It's not as serious as say the War of 1812 with Madison, but the embargo was certainly a major cause for that. Washington and Adams both tried their best to stay neutral in situations where as Jefferson really put himself out there. You could use Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality and the XYZ affair to help support your case.

Judiciary

Marbury vs. Madison would have to be the main argument here. The Supreme Court gained a new power out of this case. This eventually allowed the court to have more power in the country. That's really all about the Judiciary that I can come up with.

Politics

The politics of the time mainly centered on the Constitution. The two-party system was much more competitive that it was in the election of 1796. The main topic of debate was whether to interpret the Constitution loosely or strictly. The Louisiana Purchase definitely applies here because while Jefferson supported strict interpretation, in order to authorize this purchase he would have to interpret the constitution loosely and consider it part of his treaty-making abilities. That's all I got here too.

Economics

Sorry, but I got nothing here.
