Describe The Election Of 1800

Answer 3

The Revolution of 1800 in the U.S. was not a revolution in the way in that it is normally thought of in world history. For example, The French Revolution of 1789, Russian Revolution of 1917, and the English Civil War were very bloody.

The U.S. "Revolution" does not really into fit in into the context of those in typical governments. All three of the aforementioned revolutions were bloody, and caused the end of three monarchies. The main significance of the 1800 U.S. presidential election was that John Adams the Federalist lost to Thomas Jefferson the Democratic-Republican, and the transition was peaceful and orderly. Jefferson talked about government should regularly have revolutions. But his policies were not drastically different than Adams. Jefferson claimed that government should strictly adhere to the Constitution. But his purchase of the Louisiana Territory was good for the country, but not strictly constitutional. Jefferson could have taken action against the strongly Federalist Supreme Court led by Chief Justice John Marshall, but did not do so. Also, the Federalist Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton implemented some financial policy that would have been considered big government and anti-Jefferson for that day. Jefferson really did not undo much or any of it.

In summary, it was highly signficant that the United States had a peaceful tranfer of power in 1800, but it really was not revolutionary.

Answer 4

Ok, Bryan: I must tell you that this election process has made me more alive than I have been in years!! From the instant that I made a reality check that the "status quo" would be GONE SOON, my life became worthwhile again. I heard Barack speak and told myself, I said,"Myself, this is the MAN !" I jumped in with both feet, my head, my hands and everything at my disposal to get this man elected. He's been lied about something awful but still he stands tall and sure. I believe he was meant for THIS TIME. We have had things pretty bad for a long time, now it's time to turn it around, or as Barack says,"We need a Change." I don't do isms, never did. We have a fresh slate before us. We can do the same old thing, the same old way, and get the same old results... a pitiful life. Or we can come together as the country we SHOULD BE, quit fighting amongst ourselves and make this country the "light on the hill" that she should be. Barack is not looking for anything for himself. His whole focus is this country and these people and how it can all be better. I'm jumping in hook,line and sinker--and I won't turn back!!!

Answer 6

the election was a revolution because... the president elected (thomas jefferson) was simple, he was not like other presidents because he thought everyone was equal. he would shake hands with the poor farmers and those who greeted him instead of making them bow down to him. and because it was the start of a new century..on the day of jeferson's inauguration he walked to the place instead of taking a fancy horse ride. people admired him for the way he treated others.he stayed simple.
