John Dickenson: This man wrote Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania.

Robert Morris: This was the man who basically financed the American Revolution.

Edmund Randolph: This person served both as a Virginia delegate to the Continental Congress and as Governor of Virginia from 1786-1788. He submitted the Virginia Plan at the Constitutional Convention.

Annapolis Convention: This was a precursor to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 when a dozen commissioners form New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Virginia met to discuss reform of interstate commerce regulations, to design a U.S. currency standard, and to find a way to repay the federal government’s debts to Revolutionary War veterans.

Federalist Papers: This collection of essays by John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison, explained the importance of a strong central government. It was published to convince New York to ratify the Constitution.

Judiciary Act 1789: This created the federal court system, allowed the president to create federal courts and to appoint judges.

Excise Taxes: This is the kind of tax placed on manufactured products.

Loose OR Strict Construction:Strict construction is a style of interpretation that limits government powers to those specifically mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. Loose construction is a style of interpretation would allow the government to do anything which the Constitution does not specifically forbid it from doing.

Location of the Capitol: This issue was part of the Compromise Plan adopted at the Constitutional Convention as a “nod” to the South. NOT the Great Compromise between the VA and NJ Plans.

Whiskey Rebellion: This incident showed that the new government under the Constitution could react swiftly and effectively to an uprising, in contrast to the inability of the government under the Articles of Confederation to deal with a similar situation in Massachusetts.

Washington’s Farewell Address: In this famous writing, (it was not a real speech) our first president warned against the dangers of political parties and foreign alliances.

Alien and Sedition Acts: This collection of laws made it harder for new immigrants to become citizens, empowered the president to arrest dangerous people, and made it illegal to criticize government officials in writing.

VA and KY Resolutions: Written anonymously by Jefferson and Madison, they declared that states could nullify federal laws that the states considered unconstitutional.

Second Great Awakening: This was another great religious revival in Americanhistory that encouraged personal salvation experienced in revival meetings and more evangelicalism. This movement eventually would lead to many reform movements like prison reform, temperance, women's suffrage, and the crusade to abolish slavery.

Hamilton’s Program: This plan included the creation of the National Bank, the establishment of the U.S.’s credit rate, increased tariffs, a special tax on whiskey and federal assumption of debts incurred by the states during the War for Independence.

Society of Cincinnati: This was a secret society formed by officers of the Continental Army and was named for George Washington although Washington himself had no involvement in the society.

Residence Act: This piece of legislation set the length of time which immigrants must live in the United States in order to become legal citizens.

French Revolution: This the second great democratic revolution started on July 14, 1789.

XYZ Affair: This refers to the international scandal that erupted when French diplomats requested a “payment” prior to negotiating with American diplomats.

Jay’s Treaty: This was signed in the hopes of settling the growing conflicts between the U.S. and Britain. It dealt with the Northwest posts and trade on the Mississippi River and was unpopular with most Americans because it did not punish Britain for the attacks on neutral American ships. It was particularly unpopular with France, because the U.S. also accepted the British restrictions on the rights of neutrals.

Pinckney’s Treaty: This agreement between the U.S. and Spain gave the U.S. the right to transport goods on the Mississippi river and to store goods in the Spanish port of New Orleans

Treaty of Greenville, 1795: Drawn up after the Battle of Fallen Timbers, twelve Indian tribes gave the Americans the Ohio Valley territory in exchange for a reservation and $10,000.

Barbary Pirates: This was the name given to several renegade countries on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa who demanded tribute in exchange for refraining from attacking ships in the Mediterranean.

War Hawks: This was a group of Western settlers (led in Congress by Henry Clay and John Calhoun) who advocated war with Britain because they hoped to acquire Britain’s northwest posts (and also Florida or even Canada) and because they felt the British were aiding the Indians and encouraging them to attack the Americans on the frontier.

Virginia Dynasty: This term refers to the presidents that one state contributed to the American history.

Agrarian Republic: This was Jefferson’s vision of having a nation of small family farms clustered together in rural communities. These happy farmers would exhibit concern for the community good.

Thomas Malthus: This was an English economist who warned that unchecked population growth would outstrip the food supply leading to widespread poverty and misery.

Marbury vs. Madison: This case established the Supreme Court’s power of judicial review, which allows the Supreme Court to declare laws unconstitutional.

John Marshall: This was a Federalist whose decisions on the U.S. Supreme Court promoted federal power over state power and established the judiciary as a branch of government equal to the legislative and executive. He served as Chief Justice for 34 years.

Embargo Act 1807: This act issued by Jefferson forbade American trading ships from leaving the U.S. It was meant to force Britain and France to change their policies towards neutral vessels by depriving them of American trade. It was difficult to enforce because it was opposed by merchants and everyone else whose livelihood depended upon international trade it also hurt the national economy.

William H. Harrison: This governor of the Indiana Territory is famous for making unfair treaties with Indian tribes and the Battle of Tippecanoe.

Hartford Convention: This was a gathering of New England merchants (Federalists) who opposed the Embargo and the War of 1812, proposed some amendments to the Constitution, advocated the theory of nullification, and discussed the idea of seceding from the United States. Seen as traitors, public sentiment turned against the Federalists and led to the demise of the party.

Treaty of Ghent: This officially ended the War of 1812 and restored the “ante bellum status quo.” It also set up a commission to determine the disputed Canada/U.S. border.

National Road: This was the first highway built by the federal government. Constructed during 1825-1850, it stretched from Pennsylvania to Illinois and was a major overland shipping route between the North and the West.

Clay’s American System: This was proposal included using federal money for internal improvements (roads, bridges, industrial improvements, etc.), enacting a protective tariff to foster the growth of American industries, and strengthening the national bank.

Adams-Onis Treaty: With this agreement, Spain sold Florida to the United States and the United States gave up its claims to Texas.

Monroe Doctrine: This was the declaration that Europe should not interfere in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere and that any attempt at interference by a European power would be seen as a threat to the U.S.

Revolution of 1800: This refers to the election that peacefully changed the direction of the government from Federalist to Democratic- Republican, even though it initially resulted in a tie and another amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Toussaint L’Ouverture: This person led a slave rebellion which took control of Haiti, the most important island of France’s Caribbean possessions. The rebellion led Napoleon to feel that New World colonies were more trouble than they were worth, and encouraged him to sell Louisiana to the U.S.

Continental System: Napoleon basically caused the War of 1812 with this arrangement which closed European ports to ships which had docked in Britain and authorized French ships to seize neutral shipping vessels trying to trade at British ports.
