The Case of Marbury and MadisonThe argument between the two Federalists was called Marbury vs. Madison. This case resulted from a petition to the Supreme Court by William Marbury, who had been appointed justice of the peace in the District of Columbia. It was established by John Adams, who was about to resign as president, but the papers for the commission were not delivered by John Adams' secretary of state: James Madison. When Thomas Jefferson assumed office, he ordered the new Secretary of State to withhold the commissions of Marbury and several other men. The Supreme Court ultimately rejected the petition and ended the dispute between Marbury and Madison. Western Expansion The United States was still small; mainly the east coast. They wanted to collect more land and also other extra benefits. The land to the west offered great trade routes to foreign countries. The Louisiana Purchase was the deal Americans were looking for. They had to pay an estimated twenty million dollars. Although this land belonged to France, they still agreed to follow the trade. Subsequently, after the purchase, the Americans began to move and search the territory. Americans wanted to travel because there was new and better land for crops, remote areas, and simply because the area was different. Many expeditions and some of the most famous and common are the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the Pike Expedition. These explorers wanted to tell the other side of the country what it was like, what and who they could expect. Soon people came running, and there were deaths along the way. Lewis and Clark are very popular, especially when they encounter Sacagawea which gives them an advantage in exploration. Later in 1900, gold was... in the center of the card... like when they won the Battle of New Orleans, led by Andrew Jackson. Ironically, the war ended while they were still fighting. Only a few weeks after Andrew Jackson led them to victory, they were informed that peace had been established first. Now that the war was over and peace had somehow been achieved between the English and Americans, Jefferson signed the Non-Intercourse Act on March 1, 1809, allowing U.S. trade with nations other than France and Great Britain. Months after the war ended, the Americans began rebuilding their capital and recapturing and training their militia so they would not have to face the same consequences and casualties. The biggest boost that was given to the Americans was that at least they could continue to trade on their routes, expand further west and other beneficial things thanks to the victory near the great lakes and the war led by Andrew Jackson.
