Federalists. Along with John Jay and Alexander Hamilton, James Madison penned The Federalist Papers.
The supporters of the proposed Constitution called themselves "Federalists. " Their adopted name implied a commitment to a loose, decentralized system of government. In many respects "federalism" — which implies a strong central government — was the opposite of the proposed plan that they supported. Abraham Lincoln, Party Politics, and Ideology. Given any election season, there are certain phrases you are certain to hear.
One such refrain comes from the Republican Party, who you will always hear trumpet themselves as the party of “Lincoln, [Teddy] Roosevelt, and Reagan.” They will also claim they are the party of Civil Rights because their forerunners abolished slavery and helped pass the Civil Rights Bill of 1964. These are important claims due to the cultural significance of these events, and both of these claims are indeed true. The Election of 1800. A captured moment in the amazing case of The United States v.
Aaron Burr. The election of 1800 between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson was an emotional and hard-fought campaign. Each side believed that victory by the other would ruin the nation. Federalists attacked Jefferson as an un-Christian deist whose sympathy for the French Revolution would bring similar bloodshed and chaos to the United States. Whig Party - Facts & Summary.

And in 1840 and 1848, the party captured the White House. Their only loss in a presidential election during the decade occurred in 1844 when Clay lost by a hair to the Democrats’ dark horse James K. Polk, who had greater appeal to voters favoring the expansion both of territory and slavery. Founding of the Republican Party. A Federalist Stronghold: John Marshall's Supreme Court. Marbury v.
Madison was one of the most important decisions in U.S. judicial history, because it legitimized the ability of the Supreme Court to judge the consitutionality of acts of the president or Congress. The Democratic-Republican victory in the 1800 election began a long run of Republican political success. In spite of Federalists' departure from most elective offices, they remained a powerful force in American life especially through their leading position among federal judges. In the final months of Adams' administration he enlarged the federal judiciary and appointed many new judges. In the view of Gouverneur Morris, a Federalist senator from New York, this created an independent judiciary necessary "to save the people from their most dangerous enemy, themselves. " In sharp contrast, Democratic-Republicans were appalled by the "midnight appointments" that tried to continue Federalist influence despite their election loss.
Jacksonian Democracy and Modern America. Andrew Jackson rose to national prominance as a General during the War of 1812.
The presidential election of 1828 brought a great victory for Andrew Jackson. Not only did he get almost 70 percent of the votes cast in the electoral college, popular participation in the election soared to an unheard of 60 percent.
