One American’s Story
PRIMARY SOURCE
In the fall of 1796 . . . the country fell into a more
dangerous juncture than almost any the old
confederation ever endured. The tardiness and
timidity of Mr. Washington were succeeded by the
rancour [bitterness] and insolence [arrogance] of Mr. Adams. . . . Think
what you have been, what you are, and what, under [Adams], you are
likely to become.

Adams and Jefferson
This campaign banner
declared: “T. Jefferson
President of the United
States of America—John
Adams no more.”
Adams and Jefferson were close friends
until the election of 1800, but Adams did
not even attend Jefferson’s inauguration.
—James Callender, quoted in American Aurora

A New Party Comes to Power
Adams’s defenders were just as vicious. Yet, in spite of the campaign’s
nastiness, the election ended with a peaceful transfer of power from one
party to another.

KEY QUESTION How was the presidential election of 1800 resolved?
• Why might Democratic-Republicans see the
Alien and Sedition acts as a step toward
monarchy? (They thought free speech and
the ability to question the government were
necessary for democracy.)
The 1800 election was a contest between two parties with different ideas
about the role of government.
Election of 1800 The two parties contesting the election of 1800 were the
Federalists led by President John Adams, and the Democratic-Republicans
Federalists,
Democratic-Republicans,
represented by Thomas Jefferson. Each party believed that the other was a
threat to the Constitution and the American republic.
The Democratic-Republicans thought they were saving the nation from
monarchy and oppression. They argued that the Alien and Sedition Acts
passed by the Federalists in 1798 violated the Bill of Rights.
