Who was involved in the Judiciary Act of 1801?
The Federalist-dominated Congress passed The Judiciary Act of 1801 and John Adams signed it into law on February 13, 1801, during the lame duck session, after Democratic-Republic Thomas Jefferson won the 1800 Presidential election. The election also resulted in a power shift in Congress because the Democratic-Republicans unseated many Federalists in the House and Senate.
The Act realigned judicial districts and created six new Circuit Courts, adding sixteen circuit judges, five new district judges, and assorted attorneys and other personnel to the Judicial Branch. The Circuit Courts relieved the Supreme Court justices of their circuit-riding duties and shift more judicial power from the states to the federal government, which angered the Democratic-Republicans.
Out-going Federalist John Adams immediately began filling the positions with members of his own party to ensure the Federalists retained influence in government.

What was Thomas Jefferson's reaction to the John Adams' midnight appointments?
Incoming President Thomas Jefferson, leader of the Democratic-Republic Party (formerly called the Anti-Federalists) apparently believed former President John Adams, leader of the Federalist Party, had appointed an excessive number of Federalist Party constituents to new justice of the peace positions under the Organic Act of 1801.
The Organic Act of 1801 removed the District of Columbia from the jurisdictions of Maryland and Virginia, and placed it under the control of Congress. The legislation allowed Adams to nominate an unspecified number of justices of the peace to handle low-level judicial work in the new territory. Adams appointed 42 men.
Due to the last-minute nature of the appointments, the official paperwork commissioning the appointees remained undelivered when Adams left office. Jefferson purportedly found the commissions, discarded 12, reassigned another 5 to members of his own party, and allowed the remaining 25 to be delivered as intended.
William Marbury and three other men whose commissions were never delivered petitioned the US Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus (a court order requiring an official to take a specified action) attempting to compel new Secretary of State James Madison to present the necessary documents. This action resulted in one of the US Supreme Court's most important cases, Marbury v. Madison,(1803).

What were the main ideas of John Adams' Thoughts on Government?
In his journal he wrote " Government is nothing more than the combined force of society, or the united power of the multitude, for the peace, order, safety, and good and happiness of people. There is no king or queen bee distinguished from all others, by size, figure, or beauty and the variety of colors, in the human hive. No man has yet produced any revelation from heaven in his favor, any divine communication to govern his fellow men. Nature throws us all into the world equal and alike. The preservation of liberty depends upon the intellectual and moral character of the people. As long as knowledge and virtue are diffused generally among the body of a nation, it is impossible they should be enslaved. Ambition is one of the more ungovernable passions of the human heart. The love of power is insatiable and uncontrollable. There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty." He later writes about the purpose of government and states "the happiness of the people was the purpose of government and therefor that form of government was best which produced the greatest amount of happiness for the largest number. And since all sober inquirers after truth agreed that happiness derived from virtue, that form of government with virtue as its foundation was more likely than any other to promote the general happiness.
