we took notes on George Washington's Farewell Address through the end of the 1800 election
~George Washington said in his farewell address
-warns people about political divisions
-no long term agreements with other countries (like the one with France)
-sugests that 2 terms for a president is enough
~President Elections 1796
~Adam(federalists) vs. Jefferson(jeffersonians)
~Adam wins and Jefferson become the vice president
~very strange because they were from different political parties
~French are mad about Adams being president, they like Jefferson better
~XYZ Affair between the French Diplomats and Colonists
~after4 years the federalists are losing power and its time for a new election
~President Election 1800
~Jefferson vs. Adams again
~Jefferson and Burr get a tie of votes for president
~Election goes to House of Represenatives: federalists
~35 times to make decision final; Jefferson is president, Burr is vice president
~amend the Constitution to avoid ties and to get the president and vice president from the same party
