Election of 1800: Origins of American Political Parties
Essential Question In what ways did the election of 1800 signify that political parties had become an important part of national politics?
Key Ideas The election of 1800 was dominated by disputes between two competing visions for America s future which were represented by two different political parties. The Federalist vision: Strong central government; pro-British foreign policy; economic policies that boosted American manufacturing; growth of cities and centers of manufacturing and commerce The Democratic-Republican vision: Small, limited government; pro-French foreign policy; economic policies that benefited small farmers, rather than merchants; rural, agrarian-based economy The election of 1800 saw the first large-scale examples of active political campaigning. After the election was ultimately sent to the House of Representatives to determine the winner, the election of 1800 resulted in the first orderly and peaceful transition of power from one political party to another.
