  1. CHAPTER 6LAUNCHING THE NEW NATION SECTION 1-WASHINGTON HEADS THE NEW GOV’T SECTION 2-FOREIGN AFFAIRS TROUBLE THE NATION SECTION 3-JEFFERSON ALTERS THE NATION’S COURSE SECTION 4-THE WAR OF 1812

  2. Jay’s Treaty- 1794 • Chief Justice John Jay negotiated a treaty with England so that they would give up land in the Northwest, but allowed the British to continue their fur trade on the American side of the Canadian border.

  3. In 1796 Washington retired from the presidency after two terms. • Fed nominated John Adams (Pres) and Thomas Pinckney (VP). • Dem-Rep nominated Thomas Jefferson (Pres) and Aaron Burr (VP). • Adams became Pres and Jefferson became VP. This meant Pres and VP were from opposing political parties.

  4. Sectionalism: North had voted for Adams and the South had voted for Jefferson. • Shortly after the election the French became angry about Jay’s Treaty and seized American ships. • The French (through the use of secret agents calling themselves X, Y, & Z) demanded bribes in order to stop the problem. • Pres Adams solved the XYZ Affair by using diplomacy.

  5. Despite his efforts, Adams was criticized and accused of favoring immigrants. • The Fed passed the Alien and Sedition Acts. • These acts made it harder for immigrants to become citizens (requirements were raised from 5 to 14 yrs) and handed out harsher punishments for people who criticized the gov’t. • The President could also deport or jail anyone considered “undesirable.”

  6. KY and VA refused to abide by the acts. They acted on the idea of nullification-that states could refuse to obey federal laws they believed unconstitutional.

  7. SECTION 3-Jefferson Alters the Nation’s Course • The Pres election of 1800 was a huge struggle b/t Jefferson (Dem-Rep) and J. Adams (Fed). • Aaron Burr, who was Jefferson’s running mate actually tied Jefferson in the electoral college, but the HoR voted to break the tie. Jefferson won the tie.

  8. John Adams Thomas Jefferson Aaron Burr

  9. ` • This event led Congress to realize that they needed to change the electoral system. • They passed the 12th Amendment which called for electors to cast separate ballots for Pres and VP.
