RatificationAs you know from the chart in your purple packet, eventually all 13 states ratified the Constitution
Bill of Rights added to the Constitution on December 15, 1791● The first Congress was the group that
added them● James Madison was the writer! The Anti-
Federalists convinced him enough during the ratification debates

Historical Context● Madison argued that Constitution would
control “evil” effects of factions (def?)● Some (Edmund Burke) considered parties
necessary to express open opposition to gov’t policies
● Most American leaders opposed Burke, but many agreed that they can “promote deliberation” and “check excesses in the majority”
● Delegates had no true experience with an established party system.

Development of Pol. PartiesIronically, Madison and Hamilton (who were both a part of WHAT GROUP?) become opposing leaders of political parties w/in 10 yrs of ratification
+ vs
Issues that led to party division: 1. Power of National Government ◦ Hamilton – National Gov’t should address any national issue, mentioned in Constitution or not◦ Jefferson – Feared vague national powers and “energetic” use of authority
![Page 8: Political Spectrum. 1.13.2015 Students will understand the purpose of political parties Please get out wherever you take notes for this class! Agenda:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e895503460f94b8e69f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
vs2. Economic Vision◦ Hamilton – National bank “necessary,” ex. Collect taxes, regulate trade ◦ Jefferson – Believed in agrarian society, congress should only act if absolutely and indispensably necessary
3. Foreign Policy ◦ Jefferson – supported France in Napoleonic wars, helped us during Rev. W/ Madison helps create Republican party. ◦ Hamilton – supported GB, more trade and cultural connection.
How many people do you think lined up perfectly with Jefferson or Hamilton? (not everyone)

Party Platforms
● Hamilton and his supporters develop into Federalist party.
● Jefferson/Madison and their supporters developed into the Democratic Republican Party.
The Party Platform● political parties stand for something ● platform—the set of statements describing the
party’s views on all the major issues facing the nation. ● “platform” because it is the set of beliefs the political
party stands on.

Alien and Sedition ActsAdams signs acts that gave him power to deport “dangerous” foreigners and criminalize “seditious” language● Some people saw this as taking away
free speech● Mobilized Republicans for election of
1800. (gave them some momentum)
Our 2nd President John Adams

Revolution of 1800
First election to feature candidates from political parties ● Federalist--Adams,
Hamilton● Republican-

However, the Election of 1800 exposed problem in Constitution
◦ Jefferson & Burr tie, electors could not specify which would be president. House had to decide.
12th Amendment◦ Vote for Pres. & VP on same ballot
