The Treaty of Ghent The Treaty of Ghent
• War of 1812 is considered a “stalemate”…Dec. 1814
• Peace commissioners in Ghent devised the following terms of peace– A halt to the fighting– The return of all conquered
territory to the prewar borders– Recognition of the prewar
boundary between Canada and the United States
• Treaty was ratified by the Senate
Radical NE Federalists met to discuss their grievances & find solutions to their problems:
•U.S. Govt. fighting an unnecessary war against the wrong enemy
•Sought financial assistance from Washington since their trade was at a standstill because British had placed a blockade
around the Atlantic coastline of US•New Englanders continued to trade with the British during the
war•Talked of secession or a separate peace proposal with England
Resolutions adopted by the convention resemble a modern day political platform:
•Constitutional amendments lessening the powers of Congress
•restoring Federalist influence by a minority veto•2/3’s vote before an embargo, new western states
could be admitted and war could be declared.•Abolish 3/5 clause, limit presidents to one term,
prohibit the election of two successive presidents from the same state
The War’s Legacy The War’s Legacy
• U.S. gained the respect of other nations • U.S. came to accept Canada as a neighbor and a
part of the British Empire • The Federalist party came to an end as a national
force • Talk of nullification and secession in New England
set a precedent that would later be used by the South
• Gained our neutrality and became isolated from Europe
The War’s LegacyThe War’s Legacy
• Native Americans in the West were forced to surrender large areas of land and move west.
• More U.S. factories were built
• War heroes such as Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison would eventually become
Presidents.
• Growth of American nationalism
• Enter a time period in our history called the “Era of Good Feelings”
The War of 1812 won new respect for America among many British. Michael Scott, a young lieutenant in the British navy wrote,
“I don’t like Americans; I never did, and never shall like them…..I have no wish to eat
with them, drink with them, deal with, or consort with them in any way; but let me tell
the whole truth, nor fight with them, were it not for the laurels to be acquired, by overcoming an enemy so brave, determined and alert, and in every way so worthy on one’s steel, as they
have always proved.

• Born in Virginia, 1755• Served as an officer with General
Washington during the Revolution• Attended College of William and
Mary and became a practicing attorney.
• 2nd cousin of Thomas Jefferson.
• Marshall became a committed Federalist where his court decisions would reflect the need for a strong national government over the states.
• Dominated court for 34 years, long after Federalist party died out.

which AOC could not2. Merchants refused to pay

Marshall Evolves As A Federalist
4. French Revolution• Importance of US Govt to maintain order
5. Controversial: Neutrality/Whiskey Rebellion• Individuals should respect the office of the presidency
even if one disagrees with decisions6. XYZ Affair
• US Govt needed to be powerful enough to command respect from other nations.
7. Kentucky/Virginia Resolutions• States not the final authority over law but SC
8. Appointed as Chief Justice• Increase powers of SC and national govt.
9. Republicans took control of US Congress.• As chief justice, implements Federalist principles.
JUDICIAL AUTHORITYSupreme Court has the power to declare a law
unconstitutional with the principle of judicial review.
NATIONALISMThe National Government is over the states.
PROPERTY RIGHTSPrivate property is sacred and contracts
legal.
• Marbury vs. Madison, 1803– Case: William Marbury, a Federalist and a “midnight
appointment” of President Adams, did not receive his commission from Sec. of State, James Madison. Marbury asked the SC to issue a “writ of mandamus” forcing Madison to deliver his commission.
– Decision/Reason: Marshall dismissed suit, but in doing so struck down part of Judiciary Act of 1789 because SC had no authority to give Marbury his commission.
– Significance: Established precedent of “judicial review” and the Supreme Court, not states had power to declare laws of declare laws of Congress Congress unconstitutional.unconstitutional.
•Prior to this case, the Supreme CourtSupreme Court had been the weakest of the three branches of government.
•Earlier, the belief was the states could nullifynullify a law •1803, the Supreme Court established its role as the
final arbitrator (authority)(authority) of the meaning of the Constitution and its position of equality.
•By setting a precedent for judicial reviewjudicial review or the Supreme Court can declare a law unconstitutional not
the states or Congress.•It also “sent the messagesent the message” that the National
Government is the last authority thus reinforcing Marshall’s belief in a strong central government over
the states.
• Fletcher v. Peck (1810)– Case: involved Georgia legislature, bribed, granted 35 million
acres in the Yazoo River, Mississippi to private speculators. Next legislature cancelled transaction. Appealed to the Supreme Court.
– Decision/Reason: SC concluded a state could not pass legislation invalidating a contract thus protecting property rights against popular pressures. State law cannot impair contracts violates Constitution
– Significance: Overturned a state decision because the legislative grant was a contract and national govt. is over the states.
• Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 1819– Case: Involved a law of NH that changed Dartmouth College
from a privately chartered college into a public institution
– Decision/Reason: SC struck down the state law as unconstitutional, arguing that a contract for a private corporation could not be altered by the state. Upheld the sanctity of contracts and private property.
– Significance: Decision was important in assuring economic development and encouraging investment in corporations. In addition, it set a precedent for the Supreme Court’s overturning acts of state legislatures and state courts.
• McCulloch v. Maryland (1819)– Case: The state of MD tried to collect a tax from the Second
Bank of the United States
– Decision/Reason: Using a loose interpretation of the Constitution, Marshall ruled that the federal government had the implied power to create the bank (which was in question)
– Significance: A state could not tax a federal institution because “the power to tax is the power to destroy” and that federal laws are supreme over state laws
• Cohens v. Virginia (1821)– Case: In VA, the Cohens were convicted of selling
Washington, D.C. lottery tickets authorized by Congress
– Decision/Reason: Marshall and the Court upheld the conviction. Case established the principle that the SC could review a state court’s decision involving any of the powers of the federal government
– Significance: Solidified the belief that the Supreme Court has the last and final say in law.
• Gibbons v. Ogden (1821)– Case: NY state granted a monopoly to a steamboat
company that conflicted with a charter authorized by Congress
– Decision/Reason: Marshall ruled NY monopoly was unconstitutional, establishing the federal govt’s broad control of interstate commerce. Congress regulates commerce.
– Significance: The decision secures the concept of a common market and prevents states from impeding (disrupting) commerce.
