+''' Jefferson presidency'''
+* settled partisan rancor from Adams presidency and election of 1800
+* '''Louisiana Purchase'''
+'''Madison v. Marbury'''
+* landmark case establishes judicial review
 '''DETAILS'''
+'''Revolution of 1800'''
+* the election of 1800 was bitter
+** Democratic-Republican party (Jefferson and Burr) accused Federalists of being monarchists
+** Federalists accused Jefferson of loyalty to radical French revolutionaries
+** pamphlets
+* first transition of power from one faction to another without violence
+* electoral college results:
+** Jefferson & Burr tied with 73 votes
+*** Adams won 65 votes
+** Federalists majority in the House ultimately decided for Jefferson
+**
+'''Jefferson Inaugural Address''', 1801
+* sought to reconcile bitterness between parties/factions
+* “We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists”
+'''Louisiana Purchase''', 1802
+* Secretary of State James Monroe was sent to France to negotiate purchase of Louisiana Territory
+** under Napoleon, the French had acquired Louisiana from the Spanish
+** the French lost the Haitian rebellion
+*** = successful slave revolt establishing Haitian independence
+*** the French army sent to put down the rebellion was the largest European army ever sent to the Americas
+*** with loss of Haiti, the French no longer needed New Orleans as a shipping point for Haitian trade
+* France offered to sell it for $15 million
+* Federalists opposed it because it would eventually add more southern states
+* Jefferson based power to purchase on executive powers of diplomacy
+'''Essex Junto'''
+** Aaron Burr plotted secession, anti-Jefferson
+''' 12th Amendment'' to the Constitution, 1804
+* in response to the contested election of 1800
+** (Jefferson and Burr tied in electoral college vote, so the House of Representatives decided the election)
+* also in response to partisanship during Adams administration:
+** President Adams was Federalist
+** Vice President Jefferson was Democratic-Republican
+* also in response to Vice Presidency of Aaron Burr under Jefferson
+** Burr and Jefferson were both Democratic-Republicans
+** but Jefferson and Burr did not get along, and Jefferson did not consult Burr on Administration decisions
+* made sense to combine President and Vice President candidates as a single ticket
+** so the Electoral College votes are for combined "ticket" of President and Vice President candidates
+'''Burr-Hamliton duel''', 1804*--*6+93
+'''European blockades of US ports''', 1805
+* British-French conflict again disrupts U.S. trade and politics
+* blockades of U.S. ports by both French and British
+* British commences impressment of US sailors (taking over boats and forcing the American sailors to serve of British warships)
+* New England trade economy collapses
+* '''Embargo Act of 1807''' = US response to blockades, shut down trade
+* '''Non-Intercourse Act of 1809''' reopened trade w/ other nations except Britain and France
+* ongoing tensions over trade, blockades, and impressment will lead to the '''War of 1812'''
+* '''Macon's Bill no. 2" 1808 reopens U.S. trade with Britain and France
+** France agrees to trade with the U.S. in exchange for not trading with Britain
+** British respond
+- British-French conflict:
+ > 1805 blockades start by Fr & Brit
+ > Brit start impressment of US sailors
+ > Embargo Act of 1807: US response to blockades, shut down trade
+ > New England economy collapse
+ > Non-Intercourse Act of 1809 reopened trade w/ other nations except Brit/Fr
