Goals build power of the national government and tie commercial interest of the national government to the commercial sector of the economy 4 ways to accomplish these goals 1 Take over the debt of the states from the American Revolution enhancing the credit of the new central government 2 Enacting protective tariffs on goods to help make American manufacturers more competitive to compete with Expensive European imports 3 Excise tax on whiskey and a few other domestic products 4 Establish a National bank which would unify the states and grow the nation s economy tremendously through a new paper currency Signifigance Hamilton established the first financial system in America for now it gave the federal government much power and set a precedent for the future Even though Jefferson opposed the bank he kept it when he became president showing how necessary the bank actually was Washington DC placed on the Potomac Issue of bank tariffs split the parties Whiskey Rebellion 1794 Started immediately after congress passed Hamilton s Economic Program Farmers reacted poorly because whiskey was a product of wheat production Famers attacked Federal tax collectors and government buildings Development of the Democratic Republican Societies as a result It created opposition to the federalists VA KY Resolutions 1798 1799 Written by Jefferson and Madison Declared the Alien and Sedition Acts void States that the federal government only has certain delegated powers and all powers not explicitly given to the National Government is given to states through the 10th amendment Used as a precedent for the actions of states if they feel if the National Government is acting in a way they feel is unconstitutional Tecumseh Example of the Pan Indian Confederacy They wanted to remove all forms of European influence from their culture Tecumseh was a Shawnee Indian from Ohio He traveled recruiting Indians to join him against the evil spirit whites Required members to give up anything that had been obtained through the whites and wanted them to go back to the way that life was before the whites settled North America Quasi war with France Federalists in the United States want to trade with Britain and the Democratic Republicans want to support France who are both currently fighting one another in Europe The French start attacking American ships because the US maintained a significant trade relationship with Britain Quasi war in the Atlantic between American merchant ships and the French As a result many Federalists wanted to declare war on the French for impeding our trade XYZ affair took place as a result when we attempted to talk to the French about the fighting and the French required a huge bribe in order to meet The Quasi War also provoked intense political debate in the US The Democratic Republican Party including Vice President Thomas Jefferson opposed the Federalist Adams and his military actions There was argument over how far Adams could take any military action without an explicit declaration of war from Congress The debate became so intensely partisan that Adams asked the Federalist dominated Congress to pass a series of laws known as the Sedition Acts that made it illegal to criticize the US government and jailed a number of Democratic Republican politicians and newspaper editors The ambiguity between the powers of the President and the Congress during wartime that surfaced during the Quasi War and the wartime rush to suppress dissent and criticism still remains with us today Spanish Florida The Creek Indians were in the areas in and around the boarder of Florida The Spanish promised them that they would be given Spanish supplies if they continued to fight and resist American settlements They lead raids into Alabama Tennessee and Georgia Raids were hard to stop because the Creeks would retreat into Florida not american territory John Marshall The Supreme Court and John Marshall Marbury vs Madison and

and politicians who believe national bank is unconstitutional advocate strict construction of the constitution if the constitution does not specifically grant that power to congress then power does not have that power Leadership in Maryland was one of the groups that believed that the national bank was unconstitutional state of Maryland passes a bill that places a tax on branches of national bank in Maryland state taxing a federal government their point is to tax the bank to drive it out of business in Maryland National bank directors sue the state of Maryland cant tax the national bank
