1587539417Assumption (Definition)The act of taking to or upon oneself; taking possession of something.0
1587539418Assumption (Significance)Proposed by Hamilton to pay all state debts. He believed that this would chain the states more tightly to the federal government. It would shift the attachment of wealthy creditors from the states to the federal government, and thus strengthen the central government.1
1587539419Excise (Definition)An internal tax/duty on certain commodities, such as liquor or tobacco, levied on their manufacture, sale, or consumption within the country.2
1587539420Excise (Significance)National debt was $75 million. Hamilton imposed taxes from tariffs to raise money to pay off the debt. The tariffs imposed an 8% duty on the value of dutiable imports (1789) and an excise tax of 7 cents/gallon on whiskey (1791), which later led to the Whiskey Rebellion.3
1587539421Nullification (Definition)Failure/refusal of U.S. state to aid in enforcement of federal laws within its limits, especially on Constitutional grounds.4
1587539422Nullification (Significance)In response to the Alien and Sedition Acts. This doctrine stated that if the federal government exceeds constitutional powers then the states could refuse to accept them. This concept was applied in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, which were written by Jefferson and Madison in 1798-99.5
1587539423Jay's Treaty (Definition)1794; Agreement between England and the U.S. by which limited trade relations were established. England agreed to give up its forts in the northwestern frontier, and a joint commission was set up to settle border disputes.6
1587539424Jay's Treaty (Significance)1794; Britain attacked U.S. merchant ships and retained their posts on U.S. soil. Washington sent John Jay to London to come up with an agreement. Britain agreed to evacuate their posts on U.S. soil and pay damages for American ships. However, Britain forced the U.S. to pay debts owed to British merchants before the Revolution. This angered the Jeffersonians and led Spain to draw up Pinckney's Treaty with the U.S.7
1587539425Talleyrand (Definition)French statesman.8
1587539426Talleyrand (Significance)Crafty French foreign minister who sent secret agents X, Y, Z to bribe U.S. envoys. This led to an undeclared naval war. He soon regrets his decision and invites the U.S. to send another envoy to draw up the Convention of 1800 to end the war and form an alliance.9
1587539427Funding at Par (Definition)1790; An economic plan devised by Hamilton in order to "bolster the nation's credit" and strengthen the central government. It was a plan to exchange old bonds for new bonds at face value. This would take on the debts of all states and reinforce faith in government bonds.10
1587539428Funding at Par (Significance)Hamilton's plan to pay off all national and state debts at face value plus interest ($54 million national + $21 million state). It would restore faith in government bonds and bolster the national credit.11
1587539429Strict Construction (Definition)Interpretation (as of a writing/legislation) based on a literal/technical understanding of the words used.12
1587539430Strict Construction (Significance)Jefferson employed this in his argument against the national bank with Hamilton. He said that there was no specific authorization in the Constitution for the government to do that and believed that powers not granted to the central government were reserved for the states (10th Amendment). Applying this logic, he concluded that the states, not Congress, had the right to charter banks. It was a theory that the Constitution should be interpreted literally and technically.13
1587539431Bill of Rights (Definition)A formal statement of the fundamental rights of the people of the U.S. It was incorporated in the Constitution as Amendments 1-10 and in all state constitutions.14
1587539432Bill of Rights (Significance)1791; Drafted by Madison and includes the first 10 amendments. It was promised to antifederalists after ratifying the Constitution to guarantee individual rights which included: freedom of religion, speech, press; right to bear arms; right to be tried by a jury; right to assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances; prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment; prohibition of arbitrary government seizure of private property.15
1587539433Cabinet (Definition)In the U.S., an advisory body to the president, consisting of the heads of the 13 executive departments of the federal government.16
1587539434Cabinet (Significance)1789; Established during Washington's presidency that the Constitution didn't mention.17
1587539435Elastic Clause (Definition)A statement in the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 8) granting Congress the power to pass all laws necessary and proper for carrying out the enumerated list of powers.18
1587539436Elastic Clause (Significance)Employed in Hamilton's argument for a national bank. This clause stated that what the Constitution didn't forbid, it permitted. The Constitution says that Congress may pass any laws necessary and proper to carry out their vested powers (the bank was necessary to carry out transactions of taxes and trades). It supported a loose and broad interpretation of the Constitution.19
1587539437Whiskey Rebellion (Definition)1794; A revolt of settlers in western Pennsylvania against a federal excise tax on whiskey. It was suppressed by militia called out by President G. Washington to establish the authority of the federal government.20
1587539438Whiskey Rebellion (Significance)1794 Southwest Pennsylvania; Pioneers were angered by Hamilton's whiskey excise tax. They protested, tarred, and feathered tax officers. Washington sent an army to Pennsylvania to crush the rebellion. This showed that the government was willing to use violence to display its power.21
1587539439Implied Powers (Definition)Powers that Congress claims under the Elastic Clause granted by Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. These are powers exercised by Congress which aren't explicitly stated by necessary and property to execute the powers which are.22
1587539440Implied Powers (Significance)Employed in Hamilton's argument for a national bank. It said that what the Constitution didn't forbid it permitted. The Constitution says that Congress may pass any laws that are necessary and proper to carry out their vested powers (the bank is necessary to carry out taxes and trade). It supported a loose, broad interpretation of the Constitution. - Powers that are inferred or implicated.23
1587539441Bank of the United States (Definition)Feb. 25, 1791; Proposed by Hamilton, supported by Northern/New England merchants and state governments, but Southerners were against it because their chief industry was agriculture, so they didn't need banks. The bank was charteredd for 20 years and handled the financial needs of the central government.24
1587539442Bank of the United States (Significance)Hamilton's proposal for a financial system. The bank would be a major stockholder in which the federal Treasury would deposit its surplus monies into. It would stimulate business and also print stable currency. Jefferson was against the national bank because there was no authorization in the Constitution for Congress to do so. Hamilton believed that what the Constitution didn't forbid it permitted. He argued that the bank would be proper and necessary to carry out the financial system. The bank was created in 1791 and charted for 20 years. This was a clear Federalist victory over the Republicans.25
1587539443French Revolution (Definition)1789-99; Revolution that overthrew the absolute monarchy of the Bourbons and the system of aristocratic privileges. It ended with Napoleon's overthrow of the Directory and his seizure of power.26
