Discuss fully the jeffersonian republican period (1800-1824). what were some major policy developments and significant problems that arose during this period? how did their views about strong central government change over time?

1. Disagreement within the party ex) Hamilton vs. John Adams (Quasi-war with France 1798 - 1799 and Adams' reluctance in declaring war)

2. Obnoxious taxation (excise tax on whiskey)

3. Unpopularity of laws infringing on civil liberties (Alien & Sedition Acts)

4. Opposition to the extension of suffrage (vote) Naturalization Act - discouraged immigration and encouraged some foreigners already in the country to leave and the Republicans believed these laws were unconstitutional
