Agenda for 10/17

1. Review Multiple Choice from Unit I Test

2. The NEW Supreme Court

  • Chief Justice John Marshall ("Marshal Court" 1801-1835)
  • Big idea: Marshal Court decisions consistently increase the power of the federal government, decrease power of the states.
  • II. Strengthening the National Government


    A. Cases expanding the authority of the Supreme Court

    1) Marbury v. Madison (1803) gave the Court the power of judicial review.    

    2) U.S. v. Peters (1809) established the Court's right to coerce a state legislature

    3) Martin v. Hunter's Lessee (1816) confirmed the Court's right to overrule a state court

    4) Cohens v. Virginia (1821). States were no longer sovereign in all respects since they had ratified the Constitution. State courts must submit to federal jurisdiction.

    B. Cases expanding the powers of Congress

    1) McCullough v. Maryland (1819) upheld the right of Congress to charter a national bank, thus putting into national law the doctrine of implied powers.

    2) Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) gave the national government undisputed control over interstate commerce by ruling invalid a steamboat monopoly chartered by New York state. This freed internal transportation from state restraint.

    III. Weakening the States


    A. Fletcher v. Peck (1810) established the principle that state laws were invalid when in conflict with the Constitution

    B. Dartmouth College v. Woodward (1819) by forbidding the state legislature to alter the college charter, established the principle that charters were contracts which could not be impaired.

    C. Martin v. Mott (1827) denied a state the right to withhold its militia from service.

    IV. Legacy of Marshall


    A. Established the primacy of federal government over states in exercising control of economy
    B. Opened the way for an increased federal role in promoting economic growth
    C. Affirmed protection for corporations and other private economic institutions from local governmental interference. This allowed for the growth of the new industrial capitalist economy.
     
2. Federalists (Hamilton, Washington, Adams) v. Democratic-Republicans (Jefferson, Madison)


3. "The Revolution of 1800 (election of Thomas Jefferson)
  • Jefferson's Inaugural Address 
  • Jefferson's Major Goals (Principles)
    • Reduce size of gov.
    • Lower taxes
    • Shrink military
    • Enable agrarian utopia
  • Jefferson Graphic Organizer
