What are some of Thomas Jefferson's Domestic Policy Issues?

Answer 1

Since Jefferson did not want the Federalists to obtain control of the judiciary branch of the government, he ordered these commissions not to be delivered. One of the people who did not receive his commission was William Marbury. Marbury asked for an order from the Supreme Court to deliver the commissions, however Jefferson instructed Madison to disregard the order. Marbury appealed to the Supreme Court

Answer 2

The main constitutional issue he faced was the right of the government to buy foreign territory. He had the opportunity to buy the Louisiana Territory and thought it was wise to do so, but the constitution does not give the federal government that power.
