1. What was the "Revolution of 1800"?

In 1800, Thomas Jefferson, from the Democratic-Republican party, ran against Adams for the upcoming election. The presidential election became know as the Revolution of 1800 because, contrary to its name, it was the first peaceful change in power.

2. If you were the president, would you have approved the Louisiana Purchase? Explain.

Absolutely! Without that large piece of land, we'd lose that much more resources, and have one more border to protect. And whose knows who would have bought the land if we hadn't. It could have been anyone. Also, we would still have the same number of immigrants flowing into our country and nowhere to put them. It was without a doubt correct to approve the Louisiana purchase.

3. Identify a cause of the War of 1812.

It started when some members of Congress accused it of starting Indian attacks against the United States. As an insult to injury, the English came and burnt down the Capitol Building and White House.

4. Describe what you like most about the Monroe Administration.

I think that the most important thing about the Monroe Administration was the "Monroe Doctrine", established in 1823. It stated that Europe could not add any new colonies in the Americas because Europe's systems are so different from those in America.

5. Explain what is meant by "Jacksonian Democracy."

It is called a 'Democracy' because he won the election by a large amount of votes. While the middle class and lower class loved him, the upper class hated him because of his lowly birth (he was born in a log cabin). This election is an excellent example of Democracy because the majority of the people voted for Andrew Jackson.

6. Explain what the Marshall Court is known for.
