Can you help me on this? How consistent were the republican principles applied by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison during their presidencies? How did their policies affect the Federalist Party during Jefferson's and Madison's administrations?


I can't find the answer anywhere online and I don't have a class book so there is no way for me to look it up that way. If you find a link you can just give that to me so you don't have to bother with typing it out. Whatever works for you. :) I appriciate the help! No rude comments please... Remember the Golden Rule!

How can you possibly be taking an AP history class without a book???

Writeacher and I both suggested that you should drop this AP class and take a regular history class.

I'm not going to drop the class. And due to some personal issues(No not pregnancy)I am taking online school. They did not issue us books therefore I am going in basically blind. Like I said, I'm trying to get a tutor.

I urge you to get a book.

You're wasting your time and money. The only way to get college credit for an AP class is to pass the standardized AP exam.

I WILL pass that test. And the class was free so no money was wasted.

TJ expanded the powers of the federal government by allowing the government to expand the territory of the U.S. This was done, of course, through the Louisiana Purchase. This was a very Federalist move, considering this required a loos interpretation of the Constitution, thus proving Jefferson's dedication to Jeffersonian Republicanism inconsistent.

JM and TJ's economic actions, though fairly Federalist in and of themselves, lead to the ultimate demise of the Federalist party. Both refused trade with much of Europe in light of the War of 1812 (thus seizing control over the economy and once AGAIN expanding the powers of the federal gov, as a Federalist would do). Through acts like the Embargo Act and the Non-Intercourse Act, the Federalists saw New England trade suffer and became increasingly discontented with the Republicans. They (the Federalists) gathered in a meeting called the Hartford Convention and they threatened secession. By the time they reached Washington D.C. to propose their plans, the war was already won and they looked like unpatriotic traitors. Subsequently, the Federalists were humiliated and the party fell apart, many of its members' careers ruined by the fiasco.
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison expanded the powers of the federal government by allowing the government to expand the territory of the U.S. This was done, of course, through the Louisiana Purchase.

Of course! I'd be happy to help you with your question. However, since you mentioned that you don't have access to a class book or online resources, I'll explain the process so you can find the answer yourself. It's always good to have the skills to find information independently.

First, let's break down your question into two parts: the consistency of Republican principles during the presidencies of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, and the impact of their policies on the Federalist Party.

To determine how consistent Republican principles were applied during their presidencies, you can start by looking for primary sources such as speeches, writings, or official documents by Jefferson and Madison. Check if they consistently adhered to key Republican principles, such as limited government, states' rights, strict interpretation of the Constitution, agrarianism, and individual liberty.

To find these primary sources, you can search online archives or databases that store historical documents. The Library of Congress, for example, has an online collection called "American Memory" that contains a vast range of primary sources, including letters, speeches, and official records. You can access it through this link: https://www.loc.gov/collections/

Next, let's examine how their policies affected the Federalist Party. To understand this, you can look for secondary sources such as historical articles, books, or scholarly journals that discuss the political climate and events during Jefferson's and Madison's administrations. These sources should offer insights into how the Republican policies, such as the Louisiana Purchase, the Embargo Act of 1807, or the War of 1812, impacted the Federalist Party.

If you can access scholarly databases like JSTOR or Google Scholar, you can search for relevant articles using keywords such as "Thomas Jefferson," "James Madison," "Republican principles," and "Federalist Party."

Remember, when doing academic research, it's important to verify the credibility and reliability of your sources. Peer-reviewed articles and reputable databases are usually good starting points.

I hope this explanation helps you find the information you need! If you have any further questions or need clarification along the way, feel free to ask.
