  1. U.S. History Top 100 What every student should know to pass the U.S. History EOC. Goal 1

  2. Goal 1: The New Nation (1789-1820) • The learner will identify, investigate, and assess the effectiveness of the institutions of the emerging republic.

  3. Who could vote? White males who owned property. Who could not vote? White males who did not own property Women African-Americans Native Americans Suffrage during the Federalist Era

  4. Whiskey Rebellion, 1794 • Farmers in Pennsylvania rebelled against Hamilton's excise tax on whiskey. The army put down the rebellion. • The incident showed that the new government under the Constitution could react swiftly and effectively to such a problem, in contrast to the inability of the government under the Articles of Confederation to deal with Shay's Rebellion.

  5. Washington’s Farewell Address, 1796 • Would not seek a third term • Warned against competing political parties • Warned against complicated entanglements of Europe

  6. Democratic Republicans Led by Thomas Jefferson Thought states should have more power Wanted to base economy on farming Were pro-French Supported a strict construction of the Constitution Federalists Led by Alexander Hamilton Favored a strong central government Wanted to base economy on industry and trade Were pro-British Supported a loose construction of the Constitution Development of the two-party system

  7. XYZ Affair, 1797 • Delegates were sent to France to meet with French foreign minister Talleyrand. • The American delegates were told they could meet with Talleyrand only in exchange for a large bribe. They did not pay the bribe.

  8. Alien & Sedition Acts, 1798 • These laws were passed by the Federalist Congress and signed by President Adams. • The Alien Act increased the waiting period for an immigrant to become a citizen from 5 to 14 years and the president could deport dangerous aliens. • The Sedition Act made it illegal to publish defamatory statements about the federal government. It was an attempt to silence opposition. • The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, which initiated the concept of "nullification" of federal laws were written in response to the Acts.

  9. Marbury v. Madison, 1803 • The case arose out of Jefferson's refusal to deliver the commissions to the judges appointed by Adams' Midnight Appointments. • This case established the Supreme Court's right to judicial review.

  10. Louisiana Purchase, 1803 • The U.S. purchased the land from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains from France for $15 million. • Jefferson was interested in the territory because it was valuable for trade and shipping and provided room to expand. • The Constitution did not give the federal government the power to buy land, so Jefferson used loose construction to justify the purchase.
