cabinet. Adams won the Presidency by an electoral vote of 71-68 and has Jefferson as his Vice President. (Ellis, 178) After winning the presidency, Adams tries to patch things up with Jefferson and also the Republican Party. He also wanted to send Madison and Jefferson back to France to continue ensuring America’s neutrality between France and England which Jefferson declined the offer but waited a couple of weeks to let him know. Adams encountered problems during his term; first mistake was…

furthers Tocqueville’s mindset that if the people are forced to come together to work out differences and speak their minds, they will soon feel compelled to solve problems by associations and help their neighbor on their own (592-593). However, Madison wishes to bring the people’s opinions and ideas to a larger scale, whether that be an informal type of institution in terms of associations or a more formal type such as the extended republic…

Slavery was a huge controversial issue up until the mid 1800s. James Monroe was the fifth president of the United States. His family owned slaves his whole life, and he took after that. He owned 30-40 slaves when he was old enough to operate his own plantation. By the age of 24, his plantation was already flourishing. Monroe was racist and treated the slaves that he owned very poorly and with no grace. He did, however, try to discover a gradual end to enslaved persons. He was very similar to…

For as long as I can remember, the University of Wisconsin Madison is a top school that thinks highly of their students and faculty. Success is the idea I have followed throughout my high school career. There is, however, a few points where I have failed that concept. During my freshman year of high school, I had started off earning very good grades and I worked very hard to earn those grades. This changed during biology. That first term, second semester was the first time I received a grade…

GAME DAY On Tuesday, September 15, 2015 we were playing Madison-Grant and it was an away game. It was a nice day outside and it was warm. I think it was in the mid 80’s that is good football weather. Before we boarded the bus the 8th graders got their cleats, pads, and jersey on. We also got our shoulder pads and our helmet together and we waited on the bus to arrive. Once everybody was done getting dressed, we waited on the bus by standing around, throwing a football, and just talking to each…

New England Federalists did not have any reason to trust the decisions of the Democratic-Republican party along with Thomas Jefferson or James Madison. In the years spanning from 1805-1812 the presidents belonging to this party created and passed acts and treaties that repeatedly failed and hurt the New England economy. The first plan President Jefferson tried was planned to counteract the trade restriction Britain was imposing on the United States. The United States Congress passed the…

cannot long survive. Madison set out the task of devising a republic in which a majority of citizens will be unable to tyrannize the minority. Madison says the rotten apple is factions. Factions are defined as a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community. Madison also identifies two…

dinner arranged so that Alexander Hamilton and James Madison could broker a deal to pass Hamilton’s financial plan. The major issue with Hamilton’s plan was the matter of the federal government assuming all state debts therefore requiring all states to help pay off a single debt. This was an issue for most of the southern states since they had already paid most of their debt. But as Hamilton was trying to get is financial plan passed, Madison was trying to convince Congress to place the national…
