John Adams's one term presidency lead to the Revolution of 1800. This was the peaceful transition of power from the Federalist party to the Democratic-Republicans. Their leader, Jefferson, had a smooth first term. However, in his second term, he had to deal with international issues, which led to problems at home. The purchase of the Louisiana Territory, the undeclared Barbary war, and his trade acts were all key events during his presidency.

Objections to the Constitution of Government
1) There is no Declaration of Rights, and the laws of the general government being paramount to the laws and constitution of the several States, the Declarations of Rights in the separate States are no security. Nor are the people secured even in the enjoyment of the benefit of the common law. 2) In the House of Representatives there is not the substance but the shadow only of representation; which can never produce proper information in the legislature, or inspire confidence in the people; the laws will therefore be generally made by men little concerned in, and unacquainted with their effects and consequences.
