Revolution+of+1800

The election of 1800 was the result in the control of the United States federal government from the Federalists who created a strong federal government to the Democratic Republicans who hated the idea of the whole idea of a federal government. The 1800 election was a revolution that changed what political party controlled the United States federal government from the Federalists to the Democratic Republicans. Before, the government found itself aligned with the Federalists’ plan. The start of the country’s strong central government had its connections. It was the federalists who recommended the thought of a more powerful federal government and the Constitution was a Federalist document. The Constitution is phrased so that it does not particularly limit the federal government’s power but deliberately limits the rights of the states. The way the first in command was chosen by Federalists for fear the amateurish mob which was made up of of Democratic Republicans. Every president before Jefferson was part of the Federalist Party. George Washington was not a part of this, but he he appointed Alexander Hamilton, who was a federalist, as his Secretary of the Treasury and often approved his plans for economic stability. He agreed with the founding of a federal mint, a central bank, and the levying protective tariffs. John Adams was a Federalist too who did a lot to keep Federalist control of the government. He passed the Alien Act and the Sedition Act which ended up with the arrests of the seven biggest newspaper owners that were for the Democratic Republican and were close with Thomas Jefferson.
