The Republican and Democratic Parties The modern Democratic Party evolved from the Jeffersonian Republican Party, led and organized by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The Jeffersonian Republican Party arose as a response to the Federalist Party, headed by Alexander Hamilton and John Adams. Jeffersonian Republicans favored republicanism, a political ideology that emphasizes the unalienable rights of people, a weak federal government, state?s rights, agrarian societal emphasis, and a strict adherence to the principles of the Constitution. The party also opposed the national bank and demoted relations with Great Britain.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) ? Gay couples in Utah were thrown into legal limbo Monday as the U.S. Supreme Court put a halt to same-sex marriages in the state, turning jubilation to doubt just weeks after a judge's ruling sent more than a thousand couples rushing to get married. The justices did not rule on the merits of the case or on same-sex marriage bans in general, leaving both sides confident they'll ultimately win. The decision stays in effect while the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals considers the long-term question of whether gay couples have a right to wed in Utah. For those couples who just got married ? or were planning their nuptials ? the latest twist in the legal battle clouds what was seen as a cause for celebration.

Hutchinson held weekly discussions in her house after Church, where Church members could discuss the sermon. Her extreme beliefs caused it to become evident that she believed in Antinomianism, a view that the Puritans held as dangerous, and believed that God could intervene at anytime to save a person, thereby disagreeing with predestination.

1. How did Jefferson's philosophy shape policy toward public expenditures, the judiciary, and Louisiana? Jefferson served for more than twenty years as the president of the American Philosophical Society. Jefferson brought with set of ideas about the need and importance for tightly controlled central government, payment of the national debt, and downsizing the American military. When offered the chance to buy Louisiana, an action not specified in the Constitution, Jefferson eagerly jumped at the chance to rid the New World of France. He justified the purchase by stating the new land doubled the land available for the union. His sponsorship of the Lewis and Clark expedition exemplified his interest in science and his hope for practical results from science.

Chapter 7 Focus Questions Which points in Hamilton?s economic program were most controversial and why? Hamilton?s first reports to the public credit provoke immediate controversy. The problem with plan is that the least deserving of the reward would gain the most. The original owners of three-fifths of the debt certificates issued by the Continental Congress were Revolutionary patriots, most of whom sold their certificates for a fraction of its worth. Wealthy speculators purchased these certificates and stood to reap huge gains at the expense of the original owners. Hamilton?s report on a national bank was also controversial. Hamilton?s critics feared it was a dangerous scheme that would give a small, elite group special power to influence the government.
