 . Who was the most politically conservative of the early presidents, after George Washington?  Explain.
 :The most conservative president of the early presidents was either Abraham Lincoln or James Monroe. Lincoln, most notably because he led his country through the Civil War, destroyed slavery, and was also homeschooled. And Monroe mostly because of his Monroe Doctrine, which basically said that Europe could not add new colonies or even interfere with the West. This is still used quite effectively today. (Daniel)

 H1.  I think we overpaid in buying the Louisiana Purchase, and that it was unconstitutional also.  Do you agree?
+:The Louisiana Purchase was an enormous steal. For $15 million we doubled the size of our country. Unfortunately, nowhere in the Constitution does it shed light on the Presidents ability to make such purchases. With the senate’s approval I believe it was a just purchase. However the precedent that the President can act contrary to the constitution in “Special circumstances” changed American government forever. (Kyle)
 H2.  Pick your favorite political party from the lecture, and explain why.
+:My favorite political party would have to be the Democratic-republicans, because they stood for a conservative form of government. They believed that the federal government should not have too much power, and that this power should in fact be given to the people. Isn't it ironic that the Democrats of the 1800's were one in the same with the Republican party which stands for all things conservative? The Democrats of today, are the complete opposite of the conservative Republicans. (Alexa)

However the general he was conspiring with, James Wilkinson, turned him in to Jefferson, who apprehended and tried him in 1807. The court found him not guilty, He lived abroad from 1808 to 1812, and even befriended Utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham, He remarried in 1833, suffered a stroke in 1834, and died in 1836, He was buried alongside his father in Princeton New Jersey.
