GUYS ITS CORRECT! I just took the Unit 4 test, and got 23/23.
Just paraphrase this really well for the essay answer:
John Adams failed to obtain a second term because of how poorly his first term went. He passed some controversial laws and even declared the "Quasi War", an undeclared naval war with France. He was also facing Thomas Jefferson, a very popular candidate at the time. Lousy president didn't do much to help us and even had politician war with Thomas Jefferson.
If you want to see if you did well enough paraphrasing copy and paste it into google/bing/yahoo and see if what i posted shows up, if it does then keep paraphrasing it.
i need answerssssss
Your answer, A. He was concerned that the decision gave the supreme court too much authority, is correct!
To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the given options and consider Jefferson's perspective on the Supreme Court's decision in Marbury v. Madison.
Option A suggests that Jefferson was concerned about the Supreme Court gaining too much authority. In his letter, Jefferson indeed expressed his fear that the court's decision had extended the power and jurisdiction of the court beyond what he considered to be the limits imposed by the Constitution.
Option B mentions Jefferson's concern about judges not being elected. While the issue of the selection process for judges was important to Jefferson, his primary concern in the context of Marbury v. Madison was the court's authority, not the method of judicial selection.
Option C refers to Jefferson's concern about judges being influenced by political parties. Although political influence was a significant concern for Jefferson, it was not the primary focus of his response to the Supreme Court's decision in this particular case.
Option D mentions Jefferson's concern about setting a dangerous precedent. While Jefferson did express concerns about the precedent set by the court's decision in Marbury v. Madison, his greatest concern was the potential expansion of the court's authority.
So, comparing the options, A. He was concerned that the decision gave the Supreme Court too much authority, aligns with Jefferson's primary concern as evidenced in his letter.
"our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so. They have, with others the same passion for party, for power, and the privilege of their corpse (group of people) .....and their power more dangerous as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control.
