Who Were the Chief Justices of the Supreme Court?
1.
1800-1835 - Chief Justice John Marshall, the Chief Justice appointed
by the last Federalist President, John Adams in 1800 during the lame duck
period Two cases ·
Marbury v. Madison established judicial
review (in part because the executive branch was ordered to do what it
planned to do anyway) ·
How review by the court was handled by the executive regarding the
Cherokee: There are 2 Supreme Court
decisions in favor of the Cherokees, in 1830 and 1832, Cherokee Nation v. Georgia and Worcester v. Georgia. They do not have a consequence, however,
because the executive branch ignores them. 2. 1835-1864 - Chief Justice Roger Taney, the jurist with a different view from Marshall who was appointed by Andrew Jackson at Marshall’s death. |
What Are the Shifts in Who Votes (Suffrage), How Candidates Are Chosen, and How Campaigning WorksYour textbook covers several shifts in suffrage
(voting) and in politics: 1.
The evolution from property requirements to vote
to white universal manhood suffrage about 1828. 2.
The shift in how candidates were chosen: o
From about 1800 to the 1820s, candidates were
chosen by a caucus (a talk within a group) of political party members who had
been elected to office (as in member of the House of Representatives or a
Senator). At that time, Being Secretary of State was considered necessary
preparation to run for President because of its responsibilities for foreign
policy. o
The Jacksonian period brought a rejection of what
they called “King Caucus” (with King being a dirty word because of its
association with King George III). The political party convention replaced
it—at that time a very volatile meeting of delegates who choose the candidate
for President. 3.
The Jacksonian era use of the “spoils system”
meant that federal workers chosen by their political party did campaigning
for their party as part of their jobs on the federal payroll. Other things are
going on as well to alter voting that your book does not cover. Examples: § States determine
who votes. The NEW western states offered: o
Not only more opportunities for men to get land
(with property being traditionally a voter requirement) o
But also more liberal voting rules in hopes of
getting settlers. § By the Jacksonian
era, citizens in the eastern
states began to demand the same voting opportunities as those in the west. § State laws
change, and voters (not the state legislatures) are deciding the Electoral
College results. |
