What you missed for Monday, October 16th in 5th period!
Today we took notes and had a descussion on some of the reading.
key things.
-right before Jefferson's inauguration, the federalist congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1801. This act ensured long term Federalist domination of the federalist courts. the act-
-reduced the number of supreme court justices from six to five.
-took supreme court justices off circut courts and created a new system that allowed adams to appoint 16 new judges.
Adams hurried to appoint federalist judges before his term ended, thus giving them the name "midnight judges.
As the republican Jefferson takes office, he is distrustful of the new court system and he tries to get this message across by impeaching federal attorney John Pickering, and attempting to impeach the respectable samuel chase.
Marburry vs. Madison
-Jefferson, upon entering office, found a letter signed by Adams that appointed William Marbury as a judge. however this
letter had not yet been delivered so Jefferson disregards it and refuse Marbury the job.
-marbury takes jefferson's secretary of state to court.
-in the court the first ruling questioned the constitutionality of Jefferson's refusal to give marbury his job, and this led to
republican moderates to repeal the Judiciary Act.
-the last ruling established the very important practice of judicial review, which established supreme court as the branch
that could declare laws unconstitutional
Jefferson althought questioning the constitutionality of it, pays 15 million dollars for the louisianna purchase.
u.s. tries to remain neutral in conflict between Britain and France, but both countries are interfering with american trade.
-u.s. passes nonimportation act, forbids importation of british goods that could be bought elsewhere
-napoleon passes the berlin decree which outlaws all trade with the Brittish
-the Brittish answer with the order in council that denmands that nuetral trading ships must stop first in a brittish port
-france responds with the Milan Decree, which states that anyone who obeys the brittish decrees was subject to seisure
by france.
Jefferson attempts to suspend trade with an embargo, but it has little sucess.
-the brittish find other markets and sources of food.
-american commerce suffers
the non intercourse act reopens trade with everyone but britain and france, but it does little to improve america's economic condition.
-congress passes macon's bill no. 2 which stated that if either britain or france agreed to end u.s. trade restrictions, it would impose the nonintercourse act on the other country.
-france agrees to open trade with the u.s., which forces the new president madison to give three months to the british to
follow france's lead.
-madison's proclamation leads to the war of 1812.
don't forget we have a test thursday! study up.
