How did the transfer of power to the Republicans in 1800 make a difference for the nation?

Question

All answers are appreciated! Thank you!

Answer 1

A very important note is that the transfer of power between the parties was handled relatively peacefully and without a great deal of foot-dragging (except in the House, which deadlocked while trying to decide whether to elect Jefferson or Burr). It set the tone for the transfer of power between governments in America, which tend to transfer pretty cleanly, even after acrimonious and bitter campaigns.

Answer 2

minor technical problem: The transfer of power in 1800 was from the Federalists to the Democratic-Republicans.

The biggest difference that transition made for the nation was putting power in the hands of Jefferson.
