Short Answer #1: The Federalists and Democratic Republicans disagreed on how to interpret and apply the principles outlined in the Constitution to the creation of the New Republic. Answer the following questions on Thomas Jefferson's interpretation of the Constitution. a) Cite and explain ONE example of Jefferson's strict interpretation of the Constitution in the period between 1789 and 1808. b) Cite and explain ONE example of Jefferson's loose interpretation of the Constitution in the period between 1789 and 1808. c) Cite evidence and explain the impact of Jefferson's interpretation and application of the US Constitution.
WHAT I SAID: A. Thomas Jefferson had a strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution during his time as secretary of state for President Washington. Jefferson and federalists leader Alexander Hamilton had many heated debates over the national bank and if the Constitution allowed it. Jefferson believed it did not allow the government power to do this while Hamilton argued that the "necessary and proper" clause gave the power to create a national ban. Political factions began to form as a result of differing views between Hamilton and Jefferson. B. During Jefferson's presidency, France offered the U.S. the vast Louisiana territory, including the port of New Orleans. Jefferson believed the port of New Orleans was needed for the U.S. economy, however the Constitution did not give the president specific power to purchase foreign lands. Therefore, Jefferson had to set aside his strict interpretation for the good of the country. C. After President John Adams passed both the Alien and Sedition acts, Jefferson secretly wrote a document allowing states to nullify federal laws. This was known as the Kentucky Resolution. However, during his presidency, Jefferson denied representation to the people of New Orleans after the transfer of power from France to the US.

Briefly explain how two of the following people would either support or question Marshall's view. William Marbury, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton
WHAT I SAID: A. John Marshall, a federalist supreme court chief justice who was one of John Adam's midnight appointees, decide the ruling of Marbury v Madison case. Marbury wanted his commission from the government while Jefferson and Madison believed he did not have the right to it. During this case, Marshall ruled that parts of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional and this led to the judicial branch having the power to review congressional action. B. John Adams would have supported this ruling because he wanted a federalist judge to offset the democratic-republican president and congress. He had appointed Marshall to hep his view on a strong central government. Thomas Jefferson would have opposed the ruling because it would give the Federalists more power. This contradicted Jefferson's believe that power resides in the states.
