Interpretation of the Federalists How a Political Faction Went from the Creators of the U.S Interpretation of The Federalists How a political faction went from the creators of the U.S. Constitution to thrown in the dustbin of history. by Paul Brox I. Background Who were the Federalists? 3 ◈ The Federalists were a political faction that existed from the 1780’s until their dissolution as a political party in 1824. ◈ The Federalists came to dominate the political scene from the publication of the Federalist Papers in support of a new US Constitution, to the end of John Adams’ presidency in 1801. ◈ From 1801 until 1824, they had assumed the position as a minority party. What did the Federalists believe in? 4 ◈ The Federalists held many different beliefs, but their primary idea was their support of a strong central government that was modeled similarly to the British government. ◈ They also believed in improved relations with Great Britain, instead of supporting the French Revolution. ◈ Their vision of a strong central government included the ability large standing military to quell rebellions, levy taxes to raise revenue, and other functions for the federal government’s benefit. Why did the Federalists initially rise? 5 ◈ Many Americans believed that the Articles of Confederation had failed, and were wanting a more powerful central government than what was provided to them. ◈ Incidents including Shay’s Rebellion prompted a need for a central military and a powerful central government that would answer to threats of national security. ◈ The Articles of Confederation had made states too powerful, prompting the Federalists to declare a need for a US Constitution. How did the Federalists retain their national standing? 6 ◈ The Federalists achieved success as a party during the presidency of John Adams, where they also controlled Congress. ◈ They remained the second largest political party throughout their opposition to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. ◈ They had fluctuations in their popularity, becoming more popular when Jefferson signed the Embargo Act of 1807, leading to many Americans opposing his actions. ◈ They declined in popularity after the Hartford Convention, where they had lost legitimacy as a party. II. The Beginnings A Failed System - The Articles of Confederation 8 ◈ The Articles of Confederation was the United States’ first system of government. It consisted of a legislature with 13 representatives, one from each state. ◈ The Articles of Confederation aimed to make a largely powerless central government, with individual states being left to make decisions on raising militias, the economy, and other important issues. A Failed System - The Articles of Confederation 9 ◈ Leaving states to make decisions for themselves, there was no central standard for the rights of American citizens. ◈ Because of this, state legislatures could interfere with their resident’s rights without any repercussions. Quote from a Founding Father 10 “If the execution of the laws of the national government should not require the intervention of the State legislatures, if they were to pass into immediate operation upon the citizens themselves, the particular governments could not interrupt their progress without an open and violent exertion of an unconstitutional power. No omissions nor evasions would answer the end. They would be obliged to act, and in such a manner as would leave no doubt that they had encroached on the national rights” -Alexander Hamilton, arguing in favor of a US Constitution to protect rights nationwide. A Failed System - The Articles of Confederation 11 ◈ Because the central government could not levy taxes, they were unable to raise any revenue. ◈ Among other issues, one of the most concerning was the government’s inability to pay Revolutionary War veterans the pensions they were promised. ◈ This had led to a violent uprising in western Massachusetts, in which the national government was unable to respond to, and the state was forced to raise a militia to put an end to the rebellion. Quote from a Founding Father 12 “If there should not be a large army constantly at the disposal of the national government it would either not be able to employ force at all, or, when this could be done, it would amount to a war between parts of the Confederacy concerning the infractions of a league, in which the strongest combination would be most likely to prevail, whether it consisted of those who supported or of those who resisted the general authority” - Alexander Hamilton, arguing that a lack of a central power would cause chaos between states. Opposition to a new US Constitution 13 ◈ The stance of the Federalists gained them enemies as well. ◈ Anti-federalists such as Thomas Jefferson opposed a strong central government on the grounds that it would infringe on individual and state’s rights. ◈ Anti-federalists also feared Federalist monetary policy, believing that it would create policies favorable to the upper class. Thomas Jefferson, arguably the most prominent Anti-Federalist. A Failed System - The Articles of Confederation 14 ◈ Despite the warnings of the Anti-Federalists, the US Constitution was ratified. ◈ Historians recognize the Articles of Confederation as a sort of “villain” in the story of the early republic, seeing it as a failed system which did not set up a strong government. ◈ History would take a much different interpretation of the Federalists as the constitutional republic matures. III. In Control President George Washington 16 ◈ George Washington became the first President in 1789. ◈ Though he never officially held association with any political party, the Federalists commonly attributed their ideas to that of George Washington. ◈ John Adams, the first and last officially Federalist president and Washington’s vice president, rides on the tide of the popularity of George Washington, but later loses his popularity. President John Adams 17 ◈ President Adams had ridden on the coattails of Washington, but quickly reduced his popularity due to the unpopular Alien and Sedition Acts. ◈ The Alien and Sedition Acts were acts to limit immigration and to prosecute against speech that was critical of the government. ◈ Though received well by Federalists, the Democratic-Republican party hated these policies, saying it was a violation of free speech rights. Federalists’ Interpretation of the Sedition Act 18 ◈ Noted Federalist Alexander Hamilton doubled down on his position and stated his desire for a more broad Sedition Act. ◈ When his push for a larger sedition act had failed, he went to the state courts to try and prosecute those who were apparently committing seditious acts against government officials. ◈ These lawsuits were not enough to stop Democratic-Republican victories in New York in 1800, however. The Sedition Act had proven unpopular. A Fair Interpretation? 19 ◈ It is important to note that Alexander Hamilton’s wishes for a broader Sedition act never came to fruition. ◈ No act was taken into effect that was any broader than the original Sedition Act that was signed in 1798. ◈ John Adams and the Federalists typically get a bad reputation for being tyrants, but the scope of the Sedition Act was quite limited compared to other propositions, and it isn’t fair to tie John Adams to this. Tyrant John Adams? 20 ◈ The published works of John Adams counters the idea that Adams had tyrannical ambitions in his presidency. ◈ During the debates on the US Constitution in the 1780s, John Adams had analyzed the effects that an oligarchy and powerful elite would have on the United States. ◈ While other Federalists had devoted energy into worrying about the effects of a radical public, Adams had warned of the dangers of a powerful elite. IV. Minority Party Status The Election of 1800 22 ◈ The Federalists were defeated in the Election of 1800 in Congress and the Presidency. ◈ John Adams lost to Thomas Jefferson, becoming the first president to only serve a single term in office. ◈ Federalists had also been served defeats in state legislature races, losing the New York state elections in May of 1800. The Election of 1800 23 ◈ Because of their bruising defeat in the Election of 1800, the Federalists had lost their national standing as a major political force. ◈ They had tried to convince the American public by warning them that war and chaos may ensue if the Democratic-Republicans were to assume office. ◈ However, at first, the calls proved to be overblown, as the Democratic-Republicans maintained most of the structure of the Republic, and did not make any drastic changes. The Minority Party 24 ◈ Because of their defeats in 1800 and their warnings of chaos and war not coming to effect, they had lost the organization needed to reclaim their status as a major political forces. ◈ Historians interpret this lack of organizational power as the reason why they had also been defeated in the Election of 1804, where they lost seats in their stronghold in New England. ◈ The party would need to wait until their warnings were understood in order to rise to become a formidable opponent to the Democratic-Republican administration The Embargo Act & Federalist Resurgence 25 ◈ By 1807, however, the actions of Democratic-Republicans became more unpopular. ◈ Thomas Jefferson signed the Embargo Act of 1807, which angered most of the American public. As such, the Federalists had taken back some seats in the Election of 1808. ◈ When war with Great Britain broke out in 1812, the Federalist Party had become the war’s opposition party, calling for an end to the war and peaceful relations with Great Britain. A Comeback? 26 ◈ The Federalists had lacked the organizational power to be an effective political party for about seven years, between 1800 and 1807. ◈ However, the validation they received when their fears proved correct set the stage for the Federalists to become a viable political force against the Democratic-Republicans. ◈ The surge continued through 1812, as war with Britain would break out. A Comeback? 27 ◈ Historians interpret this surge as the manifestation of unpopular actions by Democratic-Republicans, including the Embargo Act and the war against Britain.

  • Jeffersoniandemocracy #6
    #6 Jeffersonian Democracy 7 1. The most important achievement of the Federalist Era was A) establishment and implementation of the Constitution. B) peaceful resolution of the Whiskey Rebellion. C) assertion of American rights threatened by continued British intervention. D) enthusiastic protection of basic freedoms such as assembly, petition, and speech. 2. Which statement is true about the election of 1800? A) It marked the beginning of a lengthy interruption in the Federalist Party’s control of national politics. B) Important results included a constitutional amendment and a key Supreme Court case. C) It is considered by many historians to be the first real presidential election. D) The elected President and his Vice-President represented opposing political parties. 3. Thomas Jefferson maintained that the election of 1800 was a “revolution” because the political party in power since the conception of the United States was uprooted. Garraty/Carnes, however, argues against this conclusion because A) Jefferson’s Democratic-Republicans not only took the presidency from the Federalists, but control of Congress as well. B) no rioting or violence occurred as a result of the election outcome; instead, a relatively peaceful and orderly transition of political machinery took place. C) Jefferson was elected by highly irregular—arguably illegal—means. D) by electing Jefferson, and thus ousting the Federalists, voters were actually demonstrating preference for the old over the new, which is counter to the concept of “revolution.” 4. Thomas Jefferson is most correctly identified as a politician who A) often prefaced significant negotiations with European powers with contrived displays of America’s military strength in order to influence the diplomatic outcome.

The conflict is triggered by British “impressment” of American sailors. Unlike the French with its dominant land army, the British rely on their Royal Navy to defend the homeland and their possessions around the globe. By 1805, as Napoleon notches one victory after another, they rush to build up their corps of Ships at Sea off Gibraltar able-bodied seamen from a peacetime force of 10,000 to the 140,000 level they feel are needed for war. Their search turns in part to British sailors who have deserted the harsh conditions and disciplines imposed by their ship captains. Nelson pegs this figure at around 40,000 men – with many of them taking refuge on board more lenient American ships. Britain’s plan is to “retrieve” these nationals and return them to the Royal Navy. At the same time, King George III, still smarting from the French-backed defeat at Yorktown, and assuming that Jefferson favors his former allies, supports the notion of snatching American sailors as a justifiable form of pay-back.

  • Chapter 6: Federalists and Republicans, 1789-1816
    Federalists and Republicans 1789–1816 Why It Matters In the first government under the Constitution, important new institutions included the cabinet, a system of federal courts, and a national bank. Political parties gradually developed from the different views of citizens in the Northeast, West, and South. The new government faced special challenges in foreign affairs, including the War of 1812 with Great Britain. The Impact Today During this period, fundamental policies of American government came into being. • Politicians set important precedents for the national government and for relations between the federal and state governments. For example, the idea of a presidential cabinet originated with George Washington and has been followed by every president since that time • President Washington’s caution against foreign involvement powerfully influenced American foreign policy.

  • The Chesapeake Affair Nick Mann
    58 Western Illinois Historical Review © 2011 Vol. III, Spring 2011 ISSN 2153-1714 Sailors Board Me Now: The Chesapeake Affair Nick Mann In exploring the origins of the War of 1812, many historians view the 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe as the final breaking point in diplomatic relations between the United States and Great Britain. While the clash at Tippecanoe was a serious blow to peace between the two nations, Anglo-American relations had already been ruptured well before the presidency of James Madison. Indian affairs certainly played a role in starting the war, but it was at sea where the core problems lay. I will argue in this essay that rather than the Battle of Tippecanoe, it was the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair of 1807 that set Great Britain and the United States on the path towards war. The affair signified two of the festering issues facing the British and Americans: impressment and neutral rights. Though President Jefferson was able to prevent war in 1807, his administration‟s inept diplomacy widened the existing gap between Britain and America. On both sides of the Atlantic, the inability of leaders such as Secretary of State Madison and the British foreign minister, George Canning to resolve the affair poisoned diplomatic relations for years afterward. To understand the origin of the War of 1812, one must consider how the Chesapeake affair deteriorated Anglo-American relations to a degree that the Battle of Tippecanoe was less important that some have imagined. The clash at Tippecanoe between Governor William Henry Harrison and the forces of the Shawnee Prophet has usually been seen as the direct catalyst for the war in much of the historiography dealing with the War of 1812.

  • Early Republic Addressing Challenges 1789-1828
    • In this chapter, you will learn about life in the new nation, from the Presidency of George Washington to that of James Monroe. Our earliest Presidents established many new traditions that have survived until today. America also greatly expanded in size in those years and preserved its independence in the War of 1812. This period is known as the early republic. This is the period from 1789-1824 when the first government under the Constitution was formed. THINK ABOUT IT… • You might think that the ratification of the United States Constitution settled the question of exactly what the American government was supposed to do. In fact, it did not. Even before President Washington took office, different factions offered different ideas about what the Constitution allowed government to do. • Suppose that you are about to take office as the first President of the United States and you have access to today’s technology. On a separate sheet of paper, write a series of five or six tweets or a short blog post explaining to the American people exactly what you think governments should do and why. THE PRESIDENCY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON • In 1789, George Washington was inaugurated as the nation’s first President. As President, Washington guided the new government as it applied the ideas expressed in the Constitution to create a functioning federal republic. Upon taking office, Washington faced several major challenges. He had to define the authority of the central government, create a stable economic system, build a military, maintain national security, conduct foreign relations, and enter into treaties with several Indian tribes.
