John Adams begins to “court pack with federalists”
Appoints Madison as Justice of D.C…..the letter does not get delivered before TJ is Pres
Madison sues for delivery of the letter Chief Justice John Marshall: “The Judiciary Act
of 1789 was unconstitutional…the court cannot ENFORCE law, we can merely judge law” = JUDICIAL REVIEW
TJ Angry = court overturns the nullification law! Payback time….
The Dead Clutch of the Judiciary =
Marbury v. Madison 1803
Barbary Pirates 1801 Tripoli wants more bribery money 4 yrs long Pays us $60,000 Mosquito Fleet
Jefferson & Foreign Policy
Spain gives France Louisiana Territory 1800 US rights to port of New Orleans revoked! Go to war with France????? In 1803, Jefferson sent James Monroe to join
regular minister Robert R. Livingston to buy New Orleans and as much land to the east for a total of $10 million, tops! And the rights to the port of New Orleans.
Napoleon sells Louisiana Territory for a bargain of $15 million. They did not want a US/GB alliance They abandoned their US dreams of a French
empire due to losing of the Napoleonic Wars
The Louisiana Godsend
Strict constructionist
US Constitution does not allow for purchase of land
He lets it happen anyway…..
Jefferson = Two Faced
The purchase created a precedent of acquisition of foreign territory through purchase.

US turned to building factories
That “Dambargo” was pretty “Damgood”
Non Intercourse Act = Macon’s Bill No. 2
Opens all trade If we trade w/GB…we won’t trade w/Fr Vice versa
Napoleon agrees (lies) GB to trade w/US or we cannot trade at all! Madison the idiot
President Madison 1809-1817
