October 26 2009 Though the Democratic Republicans and the Federalists had a vicious rivalry in the hostile politics of the late 1700’s, the Revolution of 1800 was not truly a revolution by modern standards. After the Alien and Sedition Acts were passed under Adam’s administration, the Democratic Republicans prepared for the worst side of this political war. Eventually, by 1800, the Democratic Republicans would be reinstated as the party with the power. Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic Republicans turned the tables in their power and start correcting the federalist flaws as they saw fit. Though this was an important milestone in the history of the United States, the Revolution of 1800 was not truly a revolution, but merely the restoration of the Republicans to national power.
