313348287Thomas JeffersonUnder the executive branch of the new constitution, he was the Secretary of State. When Alexander Hamilton wanted to create a new national bank, he adamantly spoke against it. He felt it would violate states rights by causing a huge competitor for the state banks, then causing a federal monopoly.

His beliefs led to the creation of the political party, Democratic Republicans.

This included the federal government taking on the debts by the states and paying for it as a country. Hamilton's establishment of this act gave the country much needed unity because it brought the states together under the centralized government. This made paper money essentially useless do to inflation.
313348296strict constructionJefferson and his states' right disciples believed the Constitution should be interpreted "literally" or "strictly". The reason why was to protect individual rights. Jefferson did not want the Bank of the United States, Hamilton thought it would not only be proper, but also necessary. Jefferson thought it was up to the states and Hamilton thought it was up to Congress. The Bank was created by Congress in 1791. Having a strong central government made people fear that their rights would be taken away from them.
313348297assumptionPart of Hamilton's economic theory. Stated that the federal government would assume all the states' debts for the American Revolution. This angered states such as Virginia who had already paid of their debts.

313348301compact theorywas popular amoung the English political philosophers in the eighteenth century. In America, it was supported by Jefferson and Madison. It meant that the thirteen states, by creating the federal government, had entered into a contract about its jurisdiction. The national government was the agent of the states. This meant that the individual states were the final judges of the national government's actions. The theory was the basis for the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions passed in 1798. The compact theory was used to try to stop the Federalist abuses like the Alien and Sedition Acts.
313348302nullificationThe Federalist Party has passed the Alien and Sedition Acts to regulate the strong opinions of the Republicans. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison protested the laws by writing the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, which asked the states to declare the laws null. They thought it was the rightful remedy. Virginia and Kentucky were only states that voted for this, which is to make a law invalid.

Seeking help from America, the French pointed to the Franco-American alliance of 1778. Not wanting to get involved for fear of damage to the trade business, Washington gave the Neutrality Proclamation, which made America neutral. This led to arguments between Americans and French. After fighting with the French over such things as the Jay Treaty, the Americans came to peace with France in 1800.
313348307jay's treatyOffered little concessions from Britain to the US and greatly disturbed the Jeffersonians. ___ was able to get Britian to say they would evacuate the chain of posts on US soil and pay damages for recent seizures of American ships. The British, however, would not promise to leave American ships alone in the future, and they decided that the Americans still owed British merchants for pre-Revolutionary war debts. Because of this, many Southerners especially, were angry and rioted and called ___ the "Damn'd Arch Traitor".
313348308convention of 1800Signed in Paris that ended France's peacetime military alliance with America.

313348310whiskey rebellionA small rebellion, that began in Southwestern Pennsylvania in 1794 that was a challenge to the National Governments unjust use of an excise tax on an "economic medium of exchange." Washington crushed the rebellion with excessive force, proving the strength of the national governments power in its military, but was condemned for using a "sledge hammer to crush a gnat."
313348311federalistsLed by Alexander Hamilton, the Federalists believed in a strong central government, loose interpretation, and encouraged commerce and manufacturing. They were staunch supporters of the Constitution during ratification and were a political force during the early years of the United States. The Federalist influence declined after the election of Republican Thomas Jefferson to the presidency and disappeared completely after the Hartford Convention
313348312tenth amendmentThe last Amendment of the Bill of Rights which was created to protect American citizens natural rights. The amendment states that the "powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved to the states and the people." This allows for a strong central government but it does not allow it to become all powerful by still allowing states and people rights.
313348313pinckney treatyGave America what they demanded from the Spanish: Free navigation of the Mississippi, large area north of Florida. (helped America to have unexpected diplomatic success) Jay Treaty helped prompt the Spanish to deal with the port of New Orleans.
313348314Alien and Sedition ActsContains four parts: 1) Raised the residence requirement for American citizenship from 5 to 14 years. 2) Alien Act - Gave the President the power in peacetime to order any alien out of the country. 3) Alien Enemies Act - permitted the President in wartime to jail aliens when he wanted to. (No arrests made under the Alien Act or the Alien Enemies Act.) 4) The Sedition Act - Key clause provided fines and jail penalties for anyone guilty of sedition.

313348316ninth amendmentThe amendment states that the enumeration in the constitution shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. It was written by James Madison in 1791 to stop the possibility that enumerating such rights might possibly lead to the assumption that the rights were the only ones protected.
313348317farewell addressA document by George Washington in 1796, when he retired from office. It wasn't given orally, but printed in newspapers. It did not concern foreign affairs; most of it was devoted to domestic problems. He stressed that we should stay away from permanent alliances with foreign countries; temporary alliances wouldn't be quite as dangerous, but they should be made only in "extraordinary emergencies". He also spoke against partisan bitterness. This document was rejected by the Jeffersonians, who favored the alliance with France.
313348318Virginia and Kentucky ResolutionsWere put into practice in 1798 by Jefferson and James Madison. These were secretly made to get the rights back taken away from the Alien and Sedition Acts. These also brought about the later compact theory which gave the states more power than the federal government.
313348319Jeffersonian RepublicansOne of the nations first political parties, led by Thomas Jefferson and stemming from the anti-federalists, emerged around 1792, gradually became today's Democratic party. They were pro-French, liberal, and mostly made up of the middle class. They favored a weak central government, and strong states' rights
313348320judiciary act of 1789Organized the Supreme Court, originally with five justices and a chief justice, along with several federal district and circuit courts. It also created the attorney general's office. This created the judiciary branch of the US Government and thus helped to shape the future of this country.
313348321Treaty of GreenvilleGave America all of Ohio after General Mad Anthony Wayne battled and defeated the Indians at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. 1795 Allowed Americans to explore the area with peace of mind that the land belonged to America and added size and very fertile land to America.
313348322XYZ AffairWhen the French, outraged by Jay's treaty, begin violating the terms of the Franco-American Treaty of 1778, President John Adams sends over three secret go-betweens to talk with Talleyrand, the French foreign minister. The demanded a bribe of $250,000 in order to merely talk with Talleyrand. This occurrence led to Naval Battles between the two countries. But France, already at battling Britain, realized they did not wish to have one more enemy added to their roster.

139231149Progressivismwas less a minority movement and more a majority mood. strong political overtones, and it rejected the church as the driving force for change
139231150Female progressives often justified their reformist political activities on the basis ofessentially an extension of women's traditional roles as wives and mothers

521495074Cognitive developmentThe gradual transition from infant to adult mental capacity
521495075Piaget's Periods of Cognitive DevelopmentSensorimotor Preoperational Concrete operations Formal operations
521495076Sensorimotor0-2 years-The child acts on the world as perceived and is not capable of thinking about objects in their absence
521495077Preoperational2-7 years-Words, images, and actions are used to represent information mentally. Language and symbolic play develop, but thought is still tied to perceived events
521495078Concrete operations7-11 years-Reasoning is based on a logic that is tied to what can be perceived. The child is capable of organizing information systematically into categories and can reverse mental manipulations
521495079Formal operations11 years-Reasoning is based on a logic that includes abstractions, which leads to systematic thinking about hypothetical events
521495080Mental representationWays of storing and recalling information Allow children in the preoperational period to think about objects and events that are not immediately present
521495081Information-processing approachBased on the idea that perception and cognition rely on a host of distinct processes in the brain, and hence these capacities develop as the relevant parts of the brain develop
521495082Secure attachmentEvident if babies venture away from the mother, are upset when she leaves and not well comforted by a stranger, but calm down quickly when the mother returns
521495083Avoidant attachmentEvident if babies dont seem to care very much whether the mother is present or absent and are equally comfortable with her and a stranger; when she returns they do not immediately gravitate to her
521495084Resistant attachmentEvident if babies do not use the mother as a base of operations for exploration but rather stay close to her and become angry when she leaves; some of these babies may go so far as to hit the mother when she returns, and they do not calm down easily thereafter
521495085Disorganized/disoriented attachmentEvident if the babies become depressed and have periods of being unresponsive along with spurts of sudden emotion at the end of the testing session
521495086Preconventional levelFocuses on the role of an authority figure who defines what correct action is; good behaviors are rewarded and bad ones are punished. A preconventional response to the Heinz dilemma might be "If you let your wife die you will get in trouble"
521495087Conventional levelFocuses on the role of rules that maintain social order and allow people to get along. A child reasoning at this level wants to be viewed as a "good person" by friends and family and tries to follow the Golden Rule. Morality is still closely tied to individual relationships
521495088Postconventional LevelFocuses on the role of abstract principles that govern the decision to accept or reject specific rules. In the most advanced stage at this level, principles are adopted that are believed to apply to everyone
521495089Factors that affect puberty at earlier ageNutrition-Overweight girls tend to experience their period before those who are not overweight Stress-In girls who have a certain gene in combination with having an absent father Additives in foods such as food Chemical pollutants in the environment
