Why did James Madison leave office?

Answer 1

Despite years of brilliant public service, John Adams was defeated in the election of 1800 by Thomas Jefferson (his former vice-president). During his campaign for re-election, the incumbent faced heavy criticism from both the Democrat-Republic party as well as from the "high Federalists" of his own party. The Democrat-Republicans attacked Adams' taxes, accused Adams of supporting the British with his foreign policy, and also violating the constitution by his implementation of the Alien and Sedition Acts. The "High Federalists" led by Alexander Hamilton thought that Adams was too moderate.

Adams only won about 39% of the vote in 1800. He became depressed because he thought he had left the presidency disgraced and unappreciated. He did not even stay for his successor and former friend Thomas Jefferson's inauguration (making him only one of three presidents to do so), and left the White House quietly under the cover of nightfall.

Albeit, in 1800, Adams was sixty-five (already exceeding the life-expectancy of the day, which was thirty-five for males by thirty years). Following his defeat, he retired to Peacefield, and lived until 1826, seeing his son John Quincy become the sixth President of the United States.

John Adam: It was because Adam passed the Alien and Sedition Acts which caused the people to believe that Adam was leaning toward monarchism. In fact the republicans started a rumor, as a revenge , and said that Adam wanted to be tyranny and wanted the people to be slaves. In other words, He lost the election because people believe that he wanted to be king.

John Quincy Adam:He refused to play the game of politics so congress started to ignore most of his proposal. Nobody favored him meanwhile, the jacksonians were trying to find ways to make Andrew Jackson their new President

James Monroe was following the example set by President Washington, just serve two terms. That precedent was not broken until Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to serve four terms as Chief Executive. Monroe became a Regent of the Univ. of Virginia following his term as President and a member of the Virginia constitutional convention of 1829. He had neglected his private affairs while serving his state and nation, and was forced to sell his plantation to avoid bankruptcy. He died practically penniless on 4 July 1831.
